  Hi,

  I have a blog that I have upgrade so that I can change the design. But now I want some extra effects, like slideshows. I want to use java but I can’t find how to add it. Can I use java at my wordpress.com blog or do I need to change to a wordpress.org blog? What do you propose? What is my next step?

  Thank,
  THilda
