  I would like to install a Web Clock on my sidebar that is offered by Bell&Ross watches. Does wordpress.com offer a sidebar widget to install this component? If so, can someone point me to a tutorial on how to install? Thanks!

  Hi. Your SWF file will have to be hosted elsewhere. Then, to insert it, you use a Gigya shortcode in a text widget:

  This being said, make sure that whatever you are adding complies with WordPress.com’s advertising policy:

  If you have any doubt whether it’s okay to insert that on your blog, contact staff on Monday:

  I see, And if i upgraded to a self hosted wordpress site, would i still have to host the flash file somewhere else and follow the directions above? (thanks for the prompt response btw!)
