  I would like to add a Foodbuzz badge to my profile but do not know how to do it…

  If you mean your Gravatar profile, we can only support the badges offered by the profile itself.

  Otherwise, if you mean a post or page on your blog, you could upload the badge as an image and insert the destination link with the image.

  Directly from the Foodbuzz email… “Please scroll down to the bottom of the page on Foodbuzz.com and click the “get widgets” tab. Once you are there locate the Foodbuzz “Top 9″ widget and implement this code on your site.”

  I suppose you could try adding it into a Text widget via Appearance -> Widgets in your blog’s Dashboard, but I can’t guarantee that we’ll support the type of code they use.

  Nope, it doesn’t work, I already tried… What’s the next step or other alternative?

  Can you give me a link to where one of these badges can be retrieved?

  If it requires a password, please don’t post it.

  Their widgets use iFrames, which we can’t allow for security reasons.

  Instead, you should be able to use one of the two badges in a Text widget.

  I tried entering the link into a text widget and it just showed up as the link, not the badge…

  Try this instead:

  <a href="http://www.foodbuzz.com/" target="foodbuzz"><img src="http://www.foodbuzz.com/images/foodbuzz_120x60_badge_tag.gif" title="Foodbuzz" alt="Foodbuzz" style="border:none;" /></a>

  That worked but need to have the “Top 9” badge…

  Their top 9 item is actually a widget which uses an iFrame, but we can’t allow iFrames here for security reasons.
