  Hello,

  I have tried adding a Twitter follow button to my blog with no luck. I’ve cut and pasted the code to a text widget per these instructions (http://en.support.wordpress.com/twitter/twitter-follow-button/) and it doesn’t work. I’m trying to do the “Only display a Follow Button” option.

  Is there something else I’m missing?

  Thank you,

  Chris

  Hi,

  My blog is http://www.takethepatience.com. I use WordPress but it’s hosted elsewhere. I just found out that I need to go to another forum…is that right?

  That’s right. Go to the footer of your theme and locate the “Proudly powered by WordPress” link, click and note it links to wordporess.org. That means you have to post to http://wordpress.org/support/
  for clarity read what the supoport bot provided http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
