  Hello everyone. I’ve just bought the 15 credits for my own web name, and moved from a blogspot account. I’ve been attempting to upload htmls for an Order Form that have been created in websites like mycontactform.com and response-o-matic. However, the checkboxes in the answer options in the form will not show in the wp site. What do I do..?

  Javascript, flash, forms and iframes are not allowed here due to security concerns. The code will be stripped out. You will have to host the forum online somewhere and then link to it.

  What exactly are you trying to set up?

  Hi, thank you very much for your reply. Seems like I can’t do much here… maybe i’m in the wrong wp. What do I do..? Should I sign up for wp.org instead? I can’t even change the theme here. I am setting up a food blog, where I sell some of my baked goods and provide an online order form where people can submit.

  WordPress.ORG isn’t a hosting service. What you would have to do is hire a web host, register a domain name (if you do not already have one) download the wordpress software from wordpress.ORG and install it on the web host (many hosts have a one-button install for wordpress) and then transfer all of your posts and such over to the self-hosted blog.

  There aren’t a lot of frills here, but it is a very stable place with very little downtime, and security issues are simply never an issue save the occasional DOS attack that does little more than slow things down till they can kill it.

  For those wanting dancing rabbits or a lot of sparkling bobbles, this isn’t the place though.

  This is also not the place for people wanting to sell things. There are no shopping carts that will work here, and when it comes to selling things, there is a very narrow range of what you can do. If you make pottery, or something else (with your own hands) you can link to something like an etsyshop to sell your wares, but you can’t sell things that you buy off of ebay or something like that.
