Stripped code

    Hi, I'm trying to add some badges and an amazon widget using code they generated for me but it keeps getting stripped. I'm assuming it is code wordpress doesn't allow. How can I change it so it's allowed?

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

    You're not allowed to use javascript or flash here, and there are restrictions on the type of amazon widgets you can use, too, as advertising isn't allowed. You might want to look at this thread and the links that Timethief gives in it:

    There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that allows blogger initiated advertising on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

    If you do require an ecommerce site, advertising and/or affiliate links you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org Refer to > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
