  How do I edit my text widgets to insert text. I know what I want to insert but cannot find the page under my dashboard/admin. Thanks

  In presentation > widgets click on the little lined box at the right side of the widget and a window will open where you can add a title and text. After adding it, close the box by clicking the “x” at the upper right hand corner and then make sure to click “save changes.”

  Thanks :D May I ask a quick question? :D Can we put html in the text boxes? I tried inserting a count up timer and it wouldn’t do it. …..

  Is it really html? If it is you can use it in a text widget. But if it’s javascript you cannot use it. Please provide a linbk so we know which counter you are talking about.

  Is that java? I am new to blogging so I am unsure. Is there a place to find wordpress compatible countup tickers? Thanks! :D

  I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure the flash doesn’t work on wordpress.

  So this is flash then? Is there a place to get a ticker that is not flash? I would like a count up ticker?

  The first sentence of the code says: “x-shockwave-flash”
  The Ticker Factory has countdown tickers in html that will work on our blogs here. http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=4
  HTH :)

  You’re welcome. When you get the code from the ticker factory be sure you get the one in the box with this label above it
