  I keep trying to add mini etsy to either a new page or to a text widget and it keeps failing. What am I doing wrong?

  Here is the code I’m trying to copy: <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.etsy.com/assets/js/etsy_mini_shop.js’></script><script type=’text/javascript’>new Etsy.Mini(5190164,’gallery’,4,5,0,’http://www.etsy.com’);</script>

  When I save it and/or publish it most of it is stripped out and I get double slashes.

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

  That is javascript, which is not allowed here for security reasons.

  See this post by Panos where he give a procedure to add an etsy widget through different means.

  I wish I never left blogger, everyone says how easy WordPress is, it isn’t. I can’t believe I can’t put my etsy mini in my sidebar. I’m a little disgusted now. Sorry.
