At least with Firefox, Chrome and Safari on Mac.

Have your reported your issue to Goodreads Staff? That's where the problem is. It's not at this end.

Saying this is an issue on GoodReads' end does not do enough to guide the WordPress user. WordPress offers the GoodReads widget. WordPress users should disable the widget, or complain to GoodReads, or what? (WordPress has no responsibility for whether the widgets it offers works?)

It isn't necessarily on this end that there is a problem.

Area looks blank, mousing over causes blank covers to appear, clicking on blank cover opens Goodreads window. My blog is hosted at WordPress.com

but I've turned off the widget until I get it working. I still need to check other browsers & another computer.

I've got the widget up. Yesterday the book covers showed, but today it's blank. I've played around but can't seem to figure out why. I re-entered the Id# from goodreads. That didn't work. . .

When I copy/paste the HTML into a 'text' box what shows on my blog is either the HTML text itself, or that plus book covers in improper sequence.

this is the goodreads link to widgets: http://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?format=html&tab=widgets

Have any ideas?

thank you
