  WordPress never lets me add a widget, such as <iframe src=”http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser-widget.aspx?frid=195081″ width=”260″ height=”398″ frameborder=”0″></iframe>.
  The only thing that shows is “Please configure the Image widget in your widget settings.”
  What’s the deal?

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

  Hi there,

  Sorry to hear that you’re having troubles with our widgets. The one that you’re currently having issues with is actually because of the code which you’re trying to enter. WordPress.com doesn’t allow certain types of code for security reasons, amongst them is most iframes. As a result, our system will strip out any iframes, leaving you with what you see when you view your widget online (the “please configure your widget”) message.

  Here’s a full list of the types of code which we do and do not allow:

  So sorry for the inconvenience!
