  I am trying to post something groovy that makes use of js and the HTML5 canvas element. The WP engine seems not to support it. I tried using various browsers, all of which support CANVAS (again: the HTLM element, not the plug-in). Too bad, if there is this limitation, when going native with HTLM5 in “text” post mode. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions, O Gods from WP?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Have you read this comparison? http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  Specifically have you read which HTML tags can be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs? http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  yes time thief tx i once knew but forgot about that
  too bad there isnt some kind of “sandboxed” area where users can show off neat stuff — espically cool js and canvas animations — without the WP world coming to an end
  i have no interest personally in malicious software and would not even begin to know how to use or create it!
