Start in the widget builder and choose your jurisdiction and layout. Copy the installation code, then use the instructions below. Your platform may limit embeds by plan, editor, theme, or administrator permissions.
Paste the snippet into an HTML location that allows the chosen format. Load the script asynchronously as generated, preserve the attribution link, and leave sufficient width. If scripts are not allowed, add the badge as an image with its generated destination link. Check the public page after publishing.
Check Before You Publish
Confirm the selected state, test the destination link, and make sure the widget is readable without covering other content. Do not change a live notice just to test the half-staff appearance; use the builder's labeled preview states. If the display fails, use the official source while investigating.
