text widget. won’t work

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m trying to add this text on my side bar but won’t work. I tried to find the backtick on my mac keyboard but I can’t find it. I don’t know if the text included javascript or something not allowed. any help? ths is the text:

    <center><img src=”http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/lanik58/Mulitples%20and%20More/button.jpg”/></center>

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

    Well, it looks like some of it is getting stripped out, so it’s hard to judge. Can you re-post it, but change the pointy brackets to curvy ones like {? That should make it display properly, I think.

    Ah, I found the code:

    <center><a href="http://www.multiplesandmore.blogspot.com"><img src="http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/lanik58/Mulitples%20and%20More/button.jpg"/></a></center>

    That should work just fine, except the Center code. Use this instead:

    <p align="center"><a href="http://www.multiplesandmore.blogspot.com"><img src="http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/lanik58/Mulitples%20and%20More/button.jpg"/></a></p>

    That should work. Remember to save the stuff you’ve put in the widget, then go to the bottom and Save Updates. It’s a two-step process with text widgets.

    Nope..it dosen’t work. I copied and pasted it. I checked and nothing was there. so I checked again in the text window and the src code was gone. I tried again but same thing.

    What is that %20 doing in the file name and the / before the word more? Try saving the graphic to your hard drive (do a right-click save) with another name, a simple one-word name, and upload it to your space here.

    Pretend you’re writing a post, upload it, center it if you wish, switch to the html tab, copy the code and paste that into the text widget.

    And add the link in the editor too, by clicking on the uploaded image and using the link tool.

    The reason they’re there is, there are spaces in the uploaded link. Honestly, it’s their fault! This works anyway; just paaste it into your browser to test.

    I don’t think the text widget likes the p tags to align it. Try this:

    <a href="http://www.multiplesandmore.blogspot.com"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/lanik58/Mulitples%20and%20More/button.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="140" /></a>

    I tried it in a test blog and it stripped it out, with and without the nested XTML button checked.

    to open it in a new window so readers don’t wonder off from your blog use this:

    <a href="http://www.multiplesandmore.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/lanik58/Mulitples%20and%20More/button.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="140" /></a>

    Yes, the text widgets sometimes act weird with images and alignment.

    Hello,

    I´m still at the very beginning of my blog: http://www.cgjvirtualassist.wordpress.com

    I am trying to insert a widget in the right side bar but there seems to be some kind of error. What I see from the blog is this:

    if (WIDGETBOX) WIDGETBOX.renderWidget(’68a89cac-6793-4cef-934d-7e8f77074dc5′);Get the CGJ Virtual-Assist widget and many other great free widgets at Widgetbox!
    ——————————————————————————–

    This is not the only widget I can´t insert. I wonder if there´s anything I´m doing wrong. I only copy and paste….

    Thank you if anyone can help!.
