HTML displaying as actual code

What code are you trying to insert?

I meant – can you post an example?

In the meantime, have you tried deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? The Text widget normally accepts HTML markup without any problem. It might also be worth trying the default them in case there’s something in your current theme that’s interfering with the widget.

You got a couple of missing characters in there that are causing the middle link to be parsed as plain text. You were also using http://www.crear2.crashprojects.com instead of crear2.crashprojects.com.

Try:

<img src="http://crear2.crashprojects.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tweeter_48x48png" />
<img src="http://crear2.crashprojects.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/facebook_48.png" />
<img src="http://crear2.crashprojects.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/email_48x48.png" />

That worked fine for me – although images 1 and 3 didn’t seem to be available.
