  Trying to add a badge to the side bar and not sure where to insert the code. I tried using the text widget, per reading some posts, but the html code shows up as text.
  Thank you in advance for the help.

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

  Hey there!

  Could you please tell me what badge you’re trying to add? Some can be added on WordPress.com sites, and some cannot…

  Knowing what you’re hoping to install would help me out a lot!

  Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

  It’s a membership badge saying I am part of the membership and leads you back to my digital brochure in their directory. I believe tracking is a part of it. generated my Micronet.
  Did that help?

  Hey there,

  Thanks for the description.

  A badge with that type of code can’t be installed on a WordPress.com blog. The closest solution would be to create your own widget here that links back to Micronet. Here are those instructions:

  If this widget is integral to the functionality of your site, you may consider self-hosting a WordPress.org site.

  If you’re not familiar with the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com, this will help:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
