  Hi, I am trying to add Google’s Friend Connect to my blog alteredforhim.wordpress.com and all I get is the html code on the page. Can you help me with this, please? I read on one reply that you don’t support it. I have been to numerous sites that have it and wondering if it’s something that was supported at one time and no longer. Thanks so much!

  WordPress.com does not support third party Javascript widgets like Google’s Friend Connect at all. The software will strip the code out to preserve security and stability on this multiuser blogging platform. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Interesting, how come there are so many WP blogs that have it?

  Thanks so much!

  Because they are WordPress.ORG installs that the bloggers are paying for web hosting of. There are two different WordPress.blogs. See here for a complete breakdown and note all the differences between free hosted blogs on WordPress.COM and software installs from WordPress.ORG on self hosted installs. > WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
