can you show the code? use the backtick key (the key next to number 1), copy the code here, then use the backtick key again. (if you don’t use the backtick the code will not appear here.)

And please provide a link to your wordpress.COM blog. Even better, link your user name to your blog.
Go into your dashboard -> users -> your profile -> then scroll down to ‘contact info’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ fill in the address of your blog and save the changes.

You use the backtick to put the code here in the forums so that we can see it and work out how to help you.

Sulz told you earlier. It’s the key next to the number 1 on your keyboard. Look at the bottom of this page where it shows you what it looks like.

Yes, thank you. The bad news is that is javascript code and won’t work here at wordpress.com.

ho…but i am sure i have seen it in other pages around here at wordpress. in fact this is how i came to that site

You may have seen it on a wordpress.ORG site but not on a wordpress.COM site. There is a difference as explained in the sticky at the top of the forum.

If you saw it here, please provide a link to the blog.
