I put mine in a text widget. :)

Hi Sara, thanks for responding. Could you elaborate a little? I tried the text widget route, but every time I saved it, Wordpress tossed the code out. I have a couple of questions: did you upload it first? or did you literally just copy the code from here to the Wordpress text widget? If so, did you add any other code?

I'd be very grateful for any elucidations you may have!
Thanks, Charlotte

Hi,

I have widgets on my sidebar and I went to the bottom of the widget screen. I selected a higher number for my text widgets. I had two and I added a third. Then, I added it to my sidebar. I then clicked on the right side of the third text widget, pasted in the code. Clicked off of the widget, saved the changes and it worked for me. I had to adjust the width of the button a little so it fit.

I just replied up above, try that and make sure you can use widgets on your theme. Not all of them are widget enabled. :)

Thanks, Sara. There is still something weird going on. I have used widgets before with no problem, but for some reason Wordpress is just not saving the Nablopomo code. Me confused.

I'm having the same trouble. There is another discussion on the forum about this and apparently some Wordpress themes like the code and others don't.

Mine doesn't like it and keeps changing the code. I even tried pasting into a post, to see if I could play around with it, but it doesn't show up.

Very weird. If anyone figures something out, let us know!

Switch to the default theme and see if it works then. If so, then it's the theme not the code from NaBloPoMo.

I'm making slight progress! I've had some luck with uploading the Cat badge, but not as a link, unfortunately. Any tips for adding the link?
