   Hi (anyone out there in here),

   Maybe this is a widget question. Maybe not.

   I'm trying to add a "widget" onto my sidebar and haven't any success. Here is the code for a particular widget from a really cool website on Solar activity... I thought all I had to do was drop the code into any line under any widget tool and baboom... well it hasn't worked..

   What am I missing... do I embed the code elsewhere? If I implant the HTML code somewhere inside the page... how do I open the HTML view on the Ocean Mist theme.

   The blog I need help with is hudsonvalleyastrologer.com.

   We need you to post the whole code into a forum thread and there's a special way to do that.

   Will you please provide the code between backticks so we can examine it? The backtick ` not to be confused with the single quote mark ' is located to the left of the number 1 key in lower case under the tilde ~.
