  Depends on what you mean by “HTML text”. Normal HTML and inline CSS doesn’t get deleted except if it’s mistaken. Flash object/embed codes, iframes, javascript and a couple of other things aren’t allowed on wordpress.com, for security reasons, so they are automatically stripped out. What exactly are you trying to use?

  I’m trying to use an embedded HTML, so when they click on it, it brings them to another website. Is that not allowed on WordPress?

  Paste the code here please, so we can see what you’re talking about. To make the code show up correctly, enclose it in backticks (see the note on “Allowed markup”).
