  Hi,

  I’ve tried several variations of this, but everytime I enter a line of html code into the Text widget it deletes half the code after I save. I know that it’s not the code I’m using because my friend did this same exact thing and it worked perfectly for her.

  Thanks for replying with that code. That should work in a Text widget without any problems.

  You had mentioned that that’s a sample of the code. Is there more that you tried to add?

  Can you try adding just that code in a Text widget again? Make sure to add a slash before the closing tag after the alt attribute:

  <img src="http://thefashionableandthebroke.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/1328639555_twitter-logo.png" alt="Follow" />

  For your reference, I just wanted to let you know that you can also use an Image widget.
