  Jola,
  I followed the directions from (http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-badge/), in order to establish a facebook presence on my blog via text widget. I designed a “page badge,” which looks fine if I preview it on facebook.com. However, on wordpress, my badge reads: “(email visible only to moderators and staff), Create your badge,” linking me back to facebook.com (here: http://www.facebook.com/badges/). Am I designing the badge incorrectly? All I want is the page badge, which looks fine in the preview..

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

  There is a Facebook badge that’s for use on wordpress.com blogs. It does not contain any restricted code that wordpress.com software will strip out. Many badges and widgets do contain codes that are stripped out so your best bet is to use the one Staff have provided. You will find it here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-badge/

  @doughd: I don’t see a Facebook Badge on the blog linked to your username.

  Could you please copy and paste the code you obtained from Facebook here? Make sure that, for the purpose of showing to us on these forums, you put backticks (`) before and after the code, otherwise we won’t be able to see it and determine what’s wrong.

  I am also having problems with the Facebook Badge on both my sites: The Walpole Barn & Damariscotta Pumpkinfest. I have tried renewing the badge a couple of times and it seems to work at first but then fails to show anything except the name of our website and then”promote your page too.” ????? Help!

  Thanks…

  Both sites I posted active links to above have Facebook badges in their sidebars that are working fine for me. I am using a Firefox 3.6.16 browser.

  Which browser are you using please?
