  I’m trying to get widgets from other web sites on my blog. I don’t know anything about css and can’t figure out how to make them appear on my blog. I bought an upgrade. Please help!

  Could you be specific about:
  – your blog, by providing a URL, starting with http
  – the widgets in which you are interested
  ?

  WordPress doesn’t allow most widgets, If you’ve found a widget that you’d like to use, make sure that it doesn’t go against the rules.

  Could you give links to some widgets you’d like? I could test them on mine, and tell you if they work, and how to use them.

  Thanks- cheatgnome!

  thanks gnome, this is an example of a banner i would like to use but can’t figure out how to apply it.

  <iframe src=”http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=httphellovegg-20&o=1&p=21&l=ur1&category=kitchen&banner=1WAHFT779AHXYCKEXAG2&f=ifr” width=”125″ height=”125″ scrolling=”no” border=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ style=”border:none;” frameborder=”0″></iframe>

  AFAIK, iframe is stripped here at WordPress.COm due to server security issue.

  .js (javascript) and .swf (flash), too, so it’s kinda a no-can-do answer to you.
