 * Hi guys,
 * FIrst of all, I am fairly new to WordPress and I wanted to know whether it is
   possible at all to insert embedded HTML code that I received from the SoundCloud
   website to my sidebar? Here is the actual code:
 *     ```
       <style type='text/css'>a.soundcloud-badge:hover {background-position: bottom left !important;} *html a.soundcloud-badge {background-image: none !important; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='(http://a1.sndcdn.com/images/badges/fmonsc/square/white.png?10e4608)', sizingMethod='crop') !important;}</style><!-- if you want to have valid HTML, please be so kind and put the style part in the head of your page --><a href='http://soundcloud.com/boo2zz/follow'><span style="display: block; width: 137px; height: 20px; padding: 20px 0 0 12px; overflow: hidden; -o-text-overflow: ellipsis; text-overflow: ellipsis">boo2zz</span></a>
       ```
   
 * _[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]_
 * As far as I understand from various threads that I’ve read, it is not possible
   to insert HTML based codes to the side bar? Is that true? If so, is there any
   other way I could manage it e.g. any specific widgets or anything else at all?
 * Yours sincerely,
 * Aleksandr

 * Try adding it to the `<head></head>` section of your theme’s header.php template
   file.

 * Ermm, could you please elaborate on this for me? As far as I understand I need
   to go to the **Edit CSS**, grab the original CSS code for my [theme](http://www.akarev.com),
   choose **Start from scratch and just use this** and edit it there? Could you 
   please correct me if I am wrong, or may be tell me the easier way to accomplish
   it ? :0

 * yeah it is, I just purchased my own domain through the wordpress for $17 per 
   year I believe. Well, as far as I understood **WordPress** does not support Javascrypts
   or whatever it is… I have been using **RapidWeaver** before, which is a Mac based
   application for creating and hosting individual websites. It was fairly easy 
   to do it there, all I had to do was to copy and paste the code from let’s say**
   Twitter widget** or any other widget and it **just worked**. Here, however, it
   is not supported 🙁 Which, of course is a shame actually ;(
 * Now, the other question arrises: a friend of mine has his [blog](http://www.zopouka.com)
   at WordPress too, however, for some unknown reason he is able to add that widely
   used **Twitter widget** and many other things like **YouTube Channel widget**
   etc…
