I accidently posted this twice, but somebody closed both (ugh) threads before anybody could post, so I have to post this again.
My blog (a Dexter fan-site currently in the middle of development), won't display HTML correctly using the WordPress text widget. The HTML is fine since it displays correctly here if I link the HTML file:
http://dextercorner.com/blog/Images/FollowDexterCorner/DexterCornerFollow.html
Here's an image of how the HTML looks on my WordPress site in the Text widget:

And here's the HTML:

I've tried endlessly to get this to work correctly in the Text widget. Any ideas? You can test the HTML yourself if you want. I'm using WordPress 3.0.1 and a custom template. Just a note: I'm not using DexterFanNet anymore, but a (currently private) WordPress blog called DexterCorner.
