specific widget
-
I am using the site called profit.ly that keeps track of stock trades that I have made and they have a widget that keeps a scroll of the most recent trades made. they have given me a long widget ID and they state that: “if using wordpress, paste it into the HTML only” not sure what that means and how I go about getting this on my site. Any ideas?
thanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If the code is JavaScript or an iframe code it cannot be used on a free hosted WordPress.com blog for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
Note we cannot provide an accurate answer without seeing the exact code in question. Post it into this thread please between backticks.
The backtick ` not to be confused with the single quote mark ‘ is located to the left of the number 1 key in lower case under the tilde ~ on most keyboards.

<script src='http://static.profit.ly/static/widget/4/widget.js'></script> <script> var widget = new PROFITLY.Widget({ name: 'Trade_daddy', trades: 20, width: 250, type: 'user', style: 'tradetable', percentage: true, height: 300 }); </script> -
Thanks. As I said above JavaScript will be stripped out by the software. You cannot use that widget on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

Do you know the lowest cost site upgrade that would allow me to add this feature ?

There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Blogger initiated JavaScriptare available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

Im just trying to figure out why the profit.ly site instructs wordpress users to paste the code in HTML only…makes me beleive they are instructing me on a solution to this but guess I will have to contact them for more specifics.

They are referring to a WordPress.ORG install and not to a free hosted WordPress.COM blog like http://tradedaddy.wordpress.com/
I assure you I have provided the correct answer. Know that I have been here answering support questions along with raincoaster for over 7 years, and that’s longer than most support staff have actually been on staff.

You’re welcome.
Bottom line: To use that JavaScript widget you must hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting and set up your own WordPress.org install. Then move your WordPress.com blog content into it by export and import. http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
