  I copied and pasted the html from Creative Writer’s Tool Belt @ Good Reads.com and added it to a text widget in my sidebar at http://julieadl310.wordpress.com/ The Creative Writer’s Tool Belt showed up, but so did a lump of html and I don’t know what to do to get rid of it!
  Please help! I’m in the middle of a social media class and I’m trying to look professional.
  Thank you!

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

  Paste the code here between CODE tags so we can analyze it. Not all code is supported at WordPress.com, and that’s why some of it is showing up rather than being executed. You can just delete the extra code if the widget is working okay for you, though.

  Well, the part that says “script” is javascript, and it cannot be used here. These instructions should help http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/goodreads-widget/
