  Hi,

  I would like to post my public spotify playlist on the sidebar of my blog in a widget. However I can’t find any tutorials that describe how to do this. The tutorials only tell you how to share in in a post. What I want is to post the playlist on the sidebar permanently, and that it updates whenever I update the playlist as well. Is this possible?

  I’ve tried posting the Spotify URI in a text widget, and also making it a post first and then copying it somehow into a widget. I can’t find a way to do this.

  Help please?

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

  Oh my goodness, I actually managed to do it myself by pure coincidence and luck. This is what I did:

  1) I made a post on my blog with the URl from Spotify and postet it on my blog following these steps: https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/widgets/adding-widgets-to-websites/

  2) I went to my blog and watched the post I just made. I then clicked this little icon on the top right of the Spotify player. It looks like this: </>
  Then you’ll get two pieces of information, the first of which is “embed code”. I copied that whole thing.

  3) Go to your widgets and add a new “Text” widget. Then paste the “embed code” in the text window and save.

  That’s it!
