  I would like to know whether it is possible to use the Bootstrap CSS/HTML library (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap) on a WordPress.com blog.

  (For further info about Bootstrap please see http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#about)

  If yes, please advise which plan I should apply for.

  Thanks

  Hi. A quick look at it, and it looks like you can’t use that on WordPress.com, because it requires you to use the <link> tag (which cannot be inserted here).

  What part of Bootstrap in particular were you interested in? (In case there is a suitable alternative that works here).

  Thanks for your reply. I may do without Bootstrap for the time being.

  However, I am interested in putting a Twitter List Widget on a Page on my wordpress.com blog. The widget code is using JavaScript though:
  <script charset=”utf-8″ src=”http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js”></script>
  <script>
  new TWTR.Widget({
  version: 2,
  type: ‘list’,
  rpp: 30,
  interval: 30000,
  title: ‘title’,
  subject: ‘subject’,
  width: ‘auto’,
  height: 300,
  theme: {
  shell: {
  background: ‘#ffffff’,
  color: ‘#ffffff’
  },
  tweets: {
  background: ‘#ffffff’,
  color: ‘#000000’,
  links: ‘#755e4f’
  }
  },
  features: {
  scrollbar: true,
  loop: false,
  live: true,
  behavior: ‘all’
  }
  }).render().setList(‘username’, ‘list’).start();
  </script>

  . How can I go around this issue?
