  I am attempting to paste the html from the Profile Widget on my Twitter account. But when I paste it in the text widget and click update, it removes the top portion of the html. When I view it on my wordpress blog p[age it just shows the html code. How can I fix this?

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

  Please post the code you’re trying to put in the text widget here between backticks, those marks on the same key as the ~ so it displays properly and we can analyze it.

  Well, there’s your problem. Scripts are stripped out here for security reasons. If you can find an HTML-only version of the code, you can use that. Or just use the Twitter widget.

  Have you tried using the one the wordpress.com support documentation provides instructions for? http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-widget/
