  Most “widgets” stuff you find on the web cannot be used here because they typically contain javascript or shockwave flash, which is not allowed due to security concerns. I don’t think there has ever been anything published on the width of the sidebar areas, and it varies from theme to theme, sometimes considerably.

  Javascript – can I use that on my blog?

  If you could paste the code here between backticks (to the left of the #1 key on north american keyboards on the same key as ~) we could look at it.

  There must be more to it than that. Inserting that into a text widget will only produce all that as text.

  But to answer your other question, on most themes a widget of 150px wide or less should fit, although I haven’t checked Blix.
