  Hi,

  I am wanting to add a blogger followers widget to my sidebar. I am trying to use a html code in the text widget on wordpress and when I save it, it just appears on my page as the code. What am I doing wrong?

  I have pasted the code I am using below.

  <div class=”g-plus” data-action=”followers” data-height=”300″ data-href=”https://plus.google.com/105236618984114733888″ data-source=”blogger:blog:followers” data-width=”320″>
  </div>
  <script type=”text/javascript”>
  (function() {
  window.___gcfg = {‘lang’: ‘en’};
  var po = document.createElement(‘script’);
  po.type = ‘text/javascript’;
  po.async = true;
  po.src = ‘https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js’;
  var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0];
  s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
  })();
  </script>

  Thanks

  You will have to ask them for that. We wouldn’t be able to create a HTML widget for Blogger followers.

  I don’t think that will be possible. But, you can add a WordPress.com Follow Blog Widget:

  and a My Community widget:
