  I am trying to add a “grab my badge” thing in my side menu, but every scrolling text box code I try does not work. It keeps putting the image in the scroll box, but I just want the text. And when I try to fix the code I hit save on the widget and it deletes all the <form> words I add… like “<form><textarea rows=”4″ cols=”19″ readonly=”readonly”>.”
  How can I make this work?

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

  The grab my button codes that work on Blogger blogs do not work on free hoisted WordPress.com blogs. However, devblog has created a grab my button generator for those of us who have free hosted WordPress.com blogs. grab my button code generator here > http://www.mycoolrealm.com/sandbox/gbgen/
