  Hello.

  I’m creating a widget for a word meter using code provided by a generator. I’ve used this code in the past on this particular blog (It’s a WordPress.com blog.) with no problem. When I tried to create the widget today, it changed all of the ampersands into & when I hit Save, which understandably causes the code to display incorrectly.

  This is the code:
  <img src=’http://www.critiquecircle.com/wordmeter.asp?col=blue&font=georgia&curr=21&goal=354&’ border=0>

  Any idea what might be causing this or how to fix it?

  Thank you.
