  Hi there,
  Wordpress.com is a multi-user blogging platform and we cannot use javascript here. The programming will strip the code to maintain security. We have not been able to locate a clock that works on wordpress.com blogs because clocks are dynamic and those that are available are in javascript. But, not to worry every reader because who reads your blog has a computer and every computer has a built-in clock.

  Blogspot will let you use javascript.

  True, but wordpress.com staff view un-restricted javascript as a potential security risk as Timethief has pointed out above.

  Javascript – can I use that on my blog?
