  Hi there,

  Can you give me more details about the widget you’d like to add (either a link to more details about it or the code for the widget)? Some kind of code, like Javascript, aren’t allowed at WordPress.com for security reasons.

  If I can take a closer look at the widget you want to add, I can let you know if it’s possible to use it at WordPress.com (or give you some alternate options if it isn’t an option here).

  Hi,

  The widget is Amazon’s affiliate widget. Not sure what code they’re using.

  Hi there,

  I looked through the Amazon Widgets on Amazon.com, and those rely on Javascript that isn’t allowed here at WordPress.com. However, you’re welcome to create relevant affiliate links to Amazon products in your blog, if you’d like. (Please read those guidelines for affiliate links carefully.)

  If you have any questions about that, please let me know!
