  I wanted to paste my Twitter badge code to a TEXT/HTML widget to add it to my sidebar, but it just doesn’t work. I tried other html codes and they won’t work either.

  Anybody?

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

  Most of those other html codes include javascript or flash, which we cannot use on WordPress.com. Use the WP.com twitter widget instead.

  I am having a similar problem. I enter my HTML into a text widget and save it. It doesn’t appear on my blog. When I go back to edit it, all of it has been deleted except the first line. Any suggestions

  Please read the post just above yours. The answer is right there.
  If you read that and follow the instructions and still can’t make it work, then come back with a question.

  Please read the thread. You can’t; it’s stripped out, for security reasons.

  You can somehow.
  View the left sidebar on this site:

  It’s little, but at least it proves it’s possible.
