  I’m trying to add a badge to my blog but it’s not showing up correctly when I copy and past the code into the “text” option in widgets. Am I putting the code in the wrong place? Please help.

  What a lot of people do is look for the same thing on an approved platform. Virtually everything has been put on YouTube, for instance. There are instructions in the FAQ for loading YouTubes and telling you which platforms are approved and how to put them on your blog.
