  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

  If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

  This is a WordPress.com help forum, but http://www.breakingbeta.com/blog/ is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog.

  Note that you should be able to use javascript in a self-hosted WordPress.org blog. Something could be wrong with the javascript itself. I would recommend trying out the scripts you mentioned in a plain html test page first to make sure you can get them working in a simple format. Once you have done that, double check make sure you have loaded all the required supporting scripts in your WordPress header.php file and then head over to http://wordpress.org/support/ if you still need help.
