You need to convert the code into a gigya shortcode:
[gigya wmode="opaque" src="http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/index/swf/badge.swf?xn_version=124632088" FlashVars="backgroundColor=0xFFFFFF&textColor=0x454545&config=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.blogpaws.com%2Fmain%2Fbadge%2FshowPlayerConfig%3Fxg_source%3Dbadge%26size%3Dsmall%26username%3D22t8a3yx61jeo" width="206" height="104" bgColor="#FFFFFF" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" ]
