  I know WP has certain restrictions regarding embedding certain scripts and code into their websites. But, my intuition tells me that the short code for Wolfram|Alpha’s search engine should be safe and secure. If in any way possible, I would like to embed WA into my sidebar text-widget. Here’s a link to the WA search engine: http://www.wolframalpha.com/addtoyoursite.html

  I’m sorry, but that embed code will not work because, as you have noted, we do not allow certain tags on WordPress.com for security reasons, including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags. These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code.
