  For some reason whenever I try to enter the HTML code for an Itunes button into the text widget it doesn’t work and part of the text gets deleted when I hit save. Is there some way to enter it so that it will save properly and work?

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

  What I know about podcasting http://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/podcasting/ would be lonely on the head of a pin.

  Hi there,

  Certain kinds of code are automatically stripped out here at WordPress.com, for security reasons: Code

  If you have a button image that you want to link to iTunes, you can create a linked image with an Image Widget. Or if you’d like, you can paste the HTML code you tried and I can take a look at it for you, to see why it isn’t working.

  Here is the code, if it just isn’t going to work I’ll use the image widget link you provided. Thanks.

  Ok, so that didn’t work. I can’t even see the code I pasted into the dialogue box.

  Hi there, it sounds like the code you’re trying to use isn’t supported here at WordPress.com, so I’d suggest going ahead and creating the button with an image widget.

  Since it didn’t work to paste in your code here, you could also send me a link to where you got the HTML code for your button. I can take a look at it the code there. (For example, did you get the code from the iTunes Link Maker? If so, you can send me the direct link to what you’re trying to link to, and I can help you find the code you’d need to enter here at WordPress.com.)

  Hi there,

  Here’s code you can use for a small button linking to that podcast:

  <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brainstorm/id755050884?mt=2&uo=4" target="itunes_store" style="display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;background:url('//linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/htmlResources/assets//images/web/linkmaker/badge_appstore-sm.png') no-repeat;width:61px;height:15px;"></a>

  And here’s code you can use for a large button linking to that podcast:

  <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/brainstorm/id755050884?mt=2&uo=4" target="itunes_store" style="display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;background:url('//linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/htmlResources/assets/en_us//images/web/linkmaker/badge_subscribe-lrg.png') no-repeat;width:135px;height:40px;"></a>

  This isn’t exactly the same as the iTunes Link Maker code, but it’s a version that will work here at WordPress.com. Please let me know if I can provide any further help with that. :)

  You’re welcome. :) If you ever want to link to a different podcast, you can just replace the link within the quotation marks in this part of the code: href=”Podcast_Link”

  Happy blogging (and podcasting)!

  Hi there,

  To add a PayPal button to your site, you’ll need to follow the steps in this guide: PayPal

  Please pay particular attention to step #9 in that guide — the Website HTML code from PayPal doesn’t work here at WordPress.com. However, you can use the guide to create a donate button that will work on your site. If you have any questions about that, please let me know. :)

  What about a media player from stitcher radio?

  <iframe scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0” style=”width:300px;height:180px;border:0;overflow:hidden;” width=”300” height=”180” src=”http://app.stitcher.com/widget/f/41947></iframe>

  Since that code uses an iframe, it won’t work here at WordPress.com. We have a number of different options for adding an audio player, and you can learn about those here: Audio

  Although we don’t support Stitcher Radio, we do support the SoundCloud Audio Player and the Mixcloud Audio Player. You may want to give those a try to see how they work for you.

  If you have any question about that, just let me know. :)
