Adding a badge

I am trying to add a badge to my site from sixdegrees.org . I’m assuming it contains code that I’m not allowed to upload? It doesn’t look anything like the badge example on the WordPress help pages.
That’s shockwave flash, which is indeed not allowed here, along with javascript and iframes. If there’s an HTML version, you could use that.
No, it looks like the code uses flash which is something we can’t embed on WordPress blogs for security reasons. As a rule any badges which are dynamic (that change or keep updating) usually won’t be able to be used on our blogs as they require scripts we can’t use; something which is static is usually okay and has a shorter code.

We’re just in synch, cj — a good thing!
