  The blog tool will not allow me to embed the iframe of wordpress shortcode for Timeline JS . Is there a way to make this happen?

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

  Sorry. Should have said that I am having trouble with the Timeline JS iframe and WordPress shortcode provided by the tool.

  For security reasons, we cannot allow Javascript or iframes on WordPress.com.

  Where did you get the shortcode from?

  It is located on the Timeline js site in the generator section. It is the same WordPress plugin code that is used on the Chronicle blog and other major blogs.

  The code generator for WordPress and if race is found at http://timeline.verite.co/

  It uses Google spreadsheets as the data source.

  Yes, that uses an iframe, so we can’t allow it here at the moment.

  However, this does look incredible, so I have added a request that we add support for it in the future.

  There are two methods that it can be posted. One is with an I frame and the other is with a tested WordPress plugin. Can the plugin be made available?

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org. You can find out more about this topic here: http://support.wordpress.com/plugins/
