@cristinasbookreviews: Yes, you convert the embed code into a gigya shortcode as I showed above then paste the shortcode in a text widget and click Save.

I'm guessing yours is around 175 pixels. Then I select the image and give it link attributes. Then instead of posting it as a blog post, I copy the text code into a text widget and put it in position.

You just need to capture the image and resize it. And then copy the link of the home page of the site you're linking to.

I'm trying to add a badge

For what?

The code you listed above is Flash based which is not permitted here, therefore it's stripped out and nullified.
