    I'm trying to add an advertisement to my sidebar, using an HTML code. Is there a widget that would allow me to do this?

    The blog I need help with is bakingmadesimple.wordpress.com.

    Advertising is, except for a couple very narrow exceptions, not allowed on wordpress.COM. For the exceptions, see the last sentence under "Affiliate marketing blogs" in the bottom set of bullet points in the "types of blogs" link below.

    If you need to advertise, then you will have to self-host a blog using the software from wordpress.ORG. Figure a combined total cost of around $10 to $25 per month depending on bandwidth and storage requirements. Self-hosting does bring on new responsibilities as you will be require to do all installations, all upgrades, all backups and all troubleshooting. If something goes wrong, you have to figure it out and fix it.
