Text Widgit & Moon Phases Module
-
I’ve been trying to add this widgit: http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml to this blog:
iluminesceste.wordpress.comAs you can see it’s not working particularly well. I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong here. I’d really like this to work. What does everyone suggest?

That kind of error is common when their image goes down. But without looking at the code, I’m only guessing.
Please paste the code here between backticks, those little marks on the same key as the ~ that look like apostrophes but aren’t. So it would go Backtick, Code, Backtick. That makes it show up.

If the code you are trying to copy and paste into the text widget is NOT plain HTML, but contains anything script, embed, iframe, form or similar, then it will not work on wordpress.com. Scripts are not allowed for security reasons.

Oh, I see posted the code. I’m not an expert on that, so I leave the answer as to why it’s not working to someone else.

It looks okay to me. I would guess that their moon image went down. I think I had that widget on one of my blogs awhile back, and it worked okay. The only other possibility I can see would be if the //stuff were a non-HTML command, but I can’t say, as I have not seen it before.

From the Q&A of the site: “If the module still doesn’t work, then your webhost probably does not allow Flash, which is required.”
The code pasted above is not as given by the site: it’s what remained after WP’s stripping out the Flash part.
You can’t use this module – you can only use the link to it:

Ah, thanks panaghiotisadam!
There is probably an HTML widget around that will do the same thing; the Weather Pixie does it for weather and also shows moon phases when the moon is visible. Try searching the forums for a thread called “Codes for WordPress” as that thread has over 90 different suggestions for widget codes.
