  Hey I use the Choco Theme on my Blog and would like to add a scroll bar for the “Upcoming Reports” Text Widget on the right side.

  Is there any way to do that without having my own webserver to install WordPress on and use the PlugIns?

  Cheers
  Chris

  The answer to your second question is there is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot install plugins. They are for WordPress.org installs only. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Great thanks! It worked.

  I wonder if there is any chance to also change the graphic of the scrollbar as it does not fit the rest of my blog very nicely right now, would be cool to replace it with a thinner brown bar.

  But Ill guess this wont be possible?

  Cheers
  Chris

  it looks good! You can’t change the widgets without a purchasing an annual renewable custom design upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/ and doing the required CSS editing http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
