What sort of invalid characters is it talking about? So, here's what I did, which worked fine:

- Log in to your blogger account
- In your "Dashboard", click on "Template"
- Search for "Sidebar" in HTML code (or wherever you want to add the widget. I assumed it was sidebar.)
- Copy + Paste the javascript code from http://www.mahalo.com/answers/widgets
- Preview & make necessary changes.
- Save changes

If while following these steps, you are encountering any trouble, let me know which step is giving you trouble. The important thing to remember is that you have to paste the Widget code in Template, and not as a blog post.

Hope this helps.

Is it fixed now? You may be able to figure out if there is some problem with your template code or not by changing the theme. At least you can narrow down the problem. Try changing the theme, and see if you still see some problems. That way you can be sure that the problem did not occur during modification of template, but probably exists on Blogger.com's end. :)

Hope this helps.
