  I am trying to insert an RSS from feedwind into a widget on my sidebar. I have tried it as a page or post, as well but the only thing that appears is the HMTL code. Feedwind has tested the code and has gotten it ot work on a test Worpress but I can’t get it to work on my blog. Please advise. Here is the code:

  <!– start feedwind code –>

  RSS Feed Widget<!–Please display the above link in your web page according to Terms of Service.–></div><!– end feedwind code –>

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

  Hi Sheila,

  That code will not work because we do not allow certain tags on WordPress.com, for security reasons, including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags.

  These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code. http://support.wordpress.com/code/ has further details.

  We do have our own RSS widget you can use, see https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/

  If you need more help, please let us know!

  Thanks,

  Chris.
