  I have a code from Etsy that I’d like to add to my blog to show a widget containing my Etsy Shop. I cannot figure out which widget to use for this? I would appreciate some advice, thank you.

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

  I did a tag search for you. You can create a cusom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and add a link to your Etsy page as an item in the custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  You cannot use the widget.
  

  What many of us have done is simply take a screenshot of our Etsy shop or favorites and added it to our sidebars in a text widget. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-and-where-to-post-the-etsy-mini-code?replies=4#post-937853

  Thanks! I’m surprised Etsy and WordPress haven’t worked together to easily allow us to do this. So many Etsians have blogs/sites they use to promote their shops! The theme of my blog is not to promote my shop, but my readers know I have one and I’d like to have a link for it.

  You can also create a custom menu and include a custom link in it to your Esty Shop.
