Can’t put tweetmeme button
-
People, how can I insert a tweetmeme button into my blog?
The code is a javascript. I know wordpress doesn’t allow javascript for security reasons. Is there anyway I can modify this code to work into wordpress?
‘ <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script> ‘
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Anybody else wondering exactly what these “security reasons” are? Dunno about you, but if Blogger, which is used more than WP is, can have JavaScript, why can’t WordPress?
Disabling javascript seriously cripples WordPress and almost makes me want to go back to Blogger as much as I hate it. Do something, WordPress! Who agrees with me?

This is an issue over at tweetmeme. About two months back they had code that would work here, but it did not work well at all. I sent in a pile of bug reports on the codes they had (obviously tweetmeme is a junior high school wood shop project), and even though they fixed most of them, it still did not work right. I think they are waiting for the new batch of junior high schoolers to come through in the hopes that they might be smarter than the current batch they had.
You want a solution? Complain to tweetmeme and get all the other twits to complain as well.

Blogger allows it because it’s owned by Google – thus they can use Google tools such as adsense on their blogs.
People on wp.com can use it to send harmful viruses to people, redirect the page, etc.

If you’re wondering about the security risk posed by javascript, Flash, etc, ask Blogger, Facebook, Myspace, or any of the other sites that have been brought completely down by exploits using those codes, and remember that at Wp.com we share the backbones of our blogs with everyone else using the same theme. That means that you are exposed to the greatest risk assumed by the stupidest, least-informed person using the same theme.
If you find you cannot live without those codes, you can always get hosting and install WordPress software and go it alone.
