  Some of the characters in the code above have been replaced with non-ASCII characters that appear similar to the correct characters, but are invalid in HTML code. It’s probably a copy-paste error. Try this:

  To post HTML here in the forums, and not have it interpreted, put the code between backticks (the key to the left of the #1 with the ~ on it. A tacktick at the beginning and at the end of the code.

  Unfortunately the javascript will be stripped out for security reasons.

  Thanks!! I just wanted to make sure it was not a big and was something simply not aloud. So it seems i can put no buttons/badges in my sidebar?
