But the general idea should be the same.<\/p>\n<p>Clear on that? Ok, let&#8217;s start.<\/p>\n<p>1) Login to your WordPress Admin as usual.<\/p>\n<p>2) Using the navigation links on the left, go to Appearance &gt; Widgets.<\/p>\n<p>3) On that page, you will see <strong>Available Widgets<\/strong> and <strong>Main Sidebar<\/strong>.\u00a0 Drag a &#8216;Text&#8217; widget from the <strong>Available Widgets<\/strong> to the <strong>Main Sidebar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>4) You should now see a &#8216;Text&#8217; widget in the <strong>Main Sidebar<\/strong>. Click on the &#8216;Text&#8217; widget to expand it.<\/p>\n<p>5) The expanded &#8216;Text&#8217; widget should have two fields, Title and the content. Ignore the Title field. Copy and paste your LeadsLeap widget code into  the second field and then click the &#8216;Save&#8217; button.<\/p>\n<p>Done.<\/p>\n<p>Note: For best result, try to position LeadsLeap widget at the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since we launched LeadsLeap widget, I&#8217;ve received several questions asking how to add widget to wordpress blog.
