  I want to include two new widgets to my blog that link to my stock photo website and to the Women In Photography International website. How do I do this?

  Thanks,

  Cate

  The blog in your user profile is not a wordpress.com blog. Are you using self-hosted WordPress? Then you need to ask in this forum

  uksupport,

  I tried to add to the text but when I click on ADD and then on Edit it just disappears and I cannot add the code. Any ideas?

  Thanks,
  Cate

  Some browsers have been doing that. Add the widget and then click the “save changes” button at the bottom of the sidebar area and then click edit. That should take care of the problem.

  Do be aware, that the widget code will have to be straight HTML. Javascript, flash and iframes are not allowed due to security concerns.
