Other people have asked about this widget (see here and here) . Unless they have changed the widget code since then, it may not be possible to include it on your blog. I've never seen the code, but it sounds like it has Javascript in it, which isn't allowed in WordPress.com blogs.

I've seen the dailymile widgets present on other blogs and attempted to put it into mine. Every time it saves some of the code is stripped and I'm left with only a link to the site instead of the widget. Please help!

You could ask DailyMile if they have a flash version, so you can adapt it for WP.com. Since there are something like 30 million blogs here, they might do it.

Hmmm ... I'm not aware of any Flash widgets that do the same as I haven't searched for any. There a plugin for self hosted WordPress.org blogs though > http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dailymile-widgets/faq/

I don't know if you can see the dailymile.com/widgets link, but if not, I have a friend who has the widget on his blog: http://www.thebearsloft.com/

It essentially links run workout data.

What does the widget do?

I only say that because dailymile has two options for their widgets: 1) past the code into "wherever" or 2) and easy "Add to Blogger" button. As great as WP is, sometimes I just want to be able to do something easily without a lot of hassle.

Perhaps you can find a similar Flash widget that does the same thing rather than using that specific widget. Go back to Blogger - how sad. :(

Hmmm...looks like they only have the one version of the widget: http://www.dailymile.com/widgets

So looks like I have to live without it or go back to blogger. =/

Thanks for the reply!

Using the Text Widget, when I post the code, it strips the first part and just leaves a blank image. ... Or is it just not possible because of the javascript?

The software will continue to strip the JavaScript out to preserve security and stability as this is a multiuser blogging platform. If you can locate a Flash widget then the code may be able to be changed to a gigya shortcode so you can use it. The gigya shortcode 3 – inserting Flash

I've read a couple of the support pages related to source code, and it looks like outside widgets are not allowed in WordPress?

In this case, I would like to add my workout widgets from dailymile.com/widgets to appear on my blog sidebar. Using the Text Widget, when I post the code, it strips the first part and just leaves a blank image. So I tried the sourcecode wrap-around trick mentioned here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/ but that gave me plain text code, not showing the widget.

Am I missing something? Or is it just not possible because of the javascript?

Thanks.
