 * How do I insert HTML code into the sidebar on wordpress? I am using the hosted
   version, not downloaded onto my own server, so I cant use theme editor.
 * Anyone have any ideas? I just want to stick in some buttons and tracking HTML.
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Geoff

 * If you mean on a wordpress.com blog, then go to Presentation->Sidebar Widgets.
   Drag a Text widget into your sidebar, then edit it and add your HTML there.

 * I am trying to run a text ad box, and it uses javascript. When I try to put it
   in a text box, it deletes most of the code.

 * Please, if you have a “hosted” blog at wordpress.COM – they have their own support

 * … and, unless things have changed recently, I don’t believe that ads are allowed
   on a wp.com hosted blog …

 * Well, then you should have mentioned javascript in your original question. Instead
   you asked about HTML, didn’t you?
 * HTML will work.
    Javascript is not HTML.
