  This posted incorrectly the first time I tried to post it, and I’ve realized I forgot to markup the code as code.

  I’ve created a text widget for 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 created 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:
  <a href='http://www.critiquecircle.com/wordmeterbuilder.asp?col=blue&font=georgia&curr=21&goal=354&link=1' title='This Word Meter on Critique Circle'><img src='http://www.critiquecircle.com/wordmeter.asp?col=blue&font=georgia&curr=21&goal=354&' border=0></a>

  Is it because of the .asp? What are my options here?

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