Creative Commons License Badge

Hi.

I would like to add a CC license badge to my site--the same one Wetpaint Mandates: Creative Commons' Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License (although I think it is 3.0 now) but Wetpaint does not recognize the badge embed code. Can you give some guidance on how to embed the widget?

Cheers,

Bill T. Do you find this valuable?

This may help:

<a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/88x31.png" /></a><br /><span xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" href="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/InteractiveResource" property="dc:title" rel="dc:type">Ecumene</span> by <a xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" href="http://idealjetsam.wetpaint.com/" property="cc:attributionName" rel="cc:attributionURL">William J. Tolley, et al.</a> is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/">Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License</a>.

That's the code for the license. Which leads me to ask, is there an issue with creating a license for my specific site? Does Wetpaint require all paths leading back to it? As far as I understand it, there is no conflict, be please let me know.
