Help…this is driving me crazy!
I am simply trying to add an Instagram follow badge to a text box on my sidebar, however it is not only showing the badge on my blog, but all the text code too. Just can’t seem to get the bade on it’s own without all the textcode showing up too.

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

I am having the same issue and can’t seem to find any answers. Also, I don’t have access to any plug ins, so that’s interesting….

A badge is simply an image that you link to. You can capture an image and upload it, link to it and display it in a text widget.

For creating links in a text widget see:

NOTE http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/#adding-an-image

You can upload image files by clicking the Add Media button right above the editing area of a page or a post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/

You can also upload new files to your Media Library using Media → Add New. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new
