   hello all -

   every time I enter twitter's profile widget code into wordpress' sidebar Text Widget, the last line of code self deletes upon saving. I have no idea what what causes this. I have pasted the twitter code below. thanks in advance for all your aid

   http://winsnlosses.wordpress.com/

   <script charset="utf-8" src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
   <script>
   new TWTR.Widget({
   version: 2,
   type: 'profile',
   rpp: 10,
   interval: 30000,
   width: 'auto',
   height: 300,
   theme: {
   shell: {
   background: '#333333',
   color: '#ffffff'
   },
   tweets: {
   background: '#ffffff',
   color: '#000000',
   links: '#6e5b06'
   }
   },
   features: {
   scrollbar: true,
   loop: false,
   live: false,
   behavior: 'all'
   }
   }).render().setUser('WinsnLosses').start();
   </script>

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

   Yep. That's javascript and it will always be stripped out here, for security reasons. That's why we have a prefab Twitter widget.

   uuuughh. I really wanted the official twitter profile badge because it just give a better feel cosmetically. do you know of any HTML-based badges that look better than the standard issue twitter widget wordpress runs?

   No, but if you're a designer you can create one as long as it's simple HTML and not a script.

   not a designer by any means, lol. just your typical blogger. I've been going insane trying to find a suitable HTML-based badge that looks just as good as the one issued from Twitter - no luck yet :( thanks a lot for your responses though. I truly appreciate it. hard to find help on the 'net these days ...

   You might end up needing two widgets: one to display a Follow me link, the other to list your tweets.

   I'll look into that. the code for the simple follow button is easy to come by. however, a unique looking twitter feed is a bit more difficult to find ...

   If you have a URL of a site where the twitter badge widget is in use, and has the badge you want, post a URL to it here. I might be able to come up with the image that they are using for you. I can't make any promises, but I'll take a look.

   hmm - how exactly would I go about setting this up for you to do your thing? where can I post the badge for you to be able to use it? the only site I'm running is my wordpress blog & since it's not working there, I figure we can't use that as an option. what's the most solid option you can think of to get this working without a hitch for you?
