  I’m trying to add an Amazon widget to a side bar and even using the “wrap” code offered in the help section, it won’t allow my image or link to be shown correctly. Please help

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

  I’m sorry, some embed code will not work because we remove JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags for security reasons.

  There are no restrictions if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities. We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested.

  Every WP.org site needs a domain name. You can pay $5 a year for one here or buy one elsewhere, but you’re going to have to pay for it.

  I dont’ mind paying for it, I just don’t know what the easiest way is to proceed.. I have two WordPress sites already.. do I have to start a new one, or is it possible to have a new page with a different look and feel on my current sites?

  I believe you have multiple options, seperate blogs on subdomains, wordpress MU, and so on. But that is a question for the WordPRess.org forums.

  The original poster appears to be using the links to Amazon for a recommended reading list, not for affiliate links. I wonder if the OP wants to stay with the free-hosted WordPress.com site if the GoodReads widget would fulfill that function?

  That or simple image links.

  BTW I am pretty well convinced there never was such an option, the screenshots of the editor before the upgrade show no such button.

  I’m afraid you have to code it in raw html, put something like

  <font size="-2">Small Text</font>
