  I am trying to add some script to the text widget for a sidebar. It won’t let me have it in there though. What can I do to add script?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can’t do script – it is a security issue

  What are you trying to do?

  OH! Got it. I was just curious, I’ve been practicing writing script and such and wanted to see how it looked on WP. (I have a few other places I used it). Thanks for the responses.

  If you wish to install a Flash widget we may be able to provide a gigya shortcode workaround. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/gigya-shortcode-3-widgets/

  I am having the same problem with the official Twitter list widget found here:

  How do I incorporate this sort of list into the website?

  @levinetranslator
  On a free hosted WordPress.com blog you cannot use that widget.
  You can use a Twitter widget > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/twitter-widget/
  You can post a twitter follow button > http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter-follow-button/
  You can set up Publicize and publish to your Twitter profile page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
