  I’m having trouble with the text widget changing the code I’m pasting into it when I go to save it. My blog is http://www.jonandphyllis.com & specifically the Feedjit & Pinterest widgets. I had the Feedjit widget ever since I started my blog a few years ago but now, all of a sudden the map is gone. I can still link to Feedjit in the spot where the map was but the map is gone.

  Today, I tried adding a Pinterest “follow me” button & got a similar problem. I didn’t bother saving this on my blog until I figure out why WordPress changes the code on me.

  The Pinterest code starts out like this: Phyllis I Turner

  When I click to save, it turns into this:
  Phyllis I Turner

  Please help! I’ve never had this problem until recently…maybe the last 6 months or so…

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

  Well, that didn’t help…I pasted code in my message and it’s turned into links so you can’t really see what I’m talking about.

  A lot of code from other sites is stripped for security reasons, due to the fact that WordPress.com is a shared environment. You can learn more at:

  Add Code to Your Site

  Have you tried enabling the sharing options that are built into WordPress.com? You can find them at Dashboard > Settings > Sharing. There is an option to allow readers to pin your posts to Pinterest.

  Another suggestion would be to simply create a link to your Pinterest page like so:
