  I have a problem with the widgets, on yola.com, which used to be SynthaSite, if you wanted to add a widget you just find an embed code and paste it. But with this site, you can’t. I wish we could, though. In fact if it isn’t fixed by Jan. 1 2010, I’ll leave wordpress and tell my friends too, and goto yola.com. FIX IT!

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

  Embed codes are stripped for security purposes; if you have a widget you wish to recommend, please submit it at http://support.wordpress.com/contact . You can also consider using WordPress.org, the self-hosted version of the software. With this, you can use, essentially, any widget/code you like. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ explains the differences.

  Sorry, you are in the wrong forum and need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ as http://blog.yola.com/ is self-hosted and self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG are supported there.

  This is the forum for people hosted here on the wordpress.COM free hosting service and things here work differently and our answers typically will not work for you.

  If you are not familiar with the difference, see this sticky thread from the top of the forums: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1 .

  @wwefan1, with a self-hosted blog, wordpress.ORG is not going to “fix” it for you, but over at the wordpress.ORG forum, they should be able to help you get it sorted out and tell you what the problem is and how to fix it.
