  Hi, I’d like to place an outside widget on my sidebar using an embed code. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Too bad you did not state up front exactly which widget you mean.
  If it’s an iframe code – no.
  If it’s JavaScript – no.
  If it’s Flash – maybe. For a Flash workaround see here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/gigya-shortcode-3-widgets/
  There code restrictions are stated here > See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Well, I suppose if I’d known that, I probably wouldn’t have needed to ask. Thanks for the links.

  What I meant was that if you have specific widget in mind when you create a thread knowing what it is and or having a link to it produces an instant answer from us Volunteers. Happy blogging.
