Text Widget Help!

    Hello! I am just trying to get a new blog all set up, including facebook like box, google + badge, amazon associates box etc. I keep trying to use the text widget, as I know how…just copying the code the site makes for you and pasting it into the text widget. When I go to hit save, it is changing the code, and then only the title shows up and not the picture/ad. What is going wrong? Do I have a problem with my computer, or a wrong setting? Help!

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

    There is no Amazon widget code that will work here, and Amazon ads in the sidebar are banned anyway.

    We cannot help you with widget code if you do not give us the widget code. We already have a Facebook widget; use the version on your Widget page, don’t paste in code from Facebook. Same with Twitter. Same with Google Plus.

    I haven’t seen anything saying that amazon ads are banned in the sidebar? When I applied for the program, WordPress blog was definitely in the options for applying.

    This is the widget code I am trying to put in for that one, its just copied and pasted from the amazon associates site, that they generated.

    Same with the Google+ Badge. I am getting this code…
    <!– Place this tag in your head or just before your close body tag. –>
    <script src=”https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js” async defer></script>

    <!– Place this tag where you want the widget to render. –>
    <div class=”g-person” data-width=”220″ data-href=”//plus.google.com/u/0/112852041635408586790″ data-rel=”author”></div>

    And attempting to put it into a text widget, but all that is showing up on the site is the blog I am putting in.

    I am not seeing a google+ widget in my options. Sorry! I am new to using wordpress so I am just trying to figure this all out.

    There is no Amazon widget code that will work here, and blogger-initiated advertising is banned.
