  most of the wordpress.com blogs, if not all blogs have change the “protocol” from http to the more secure https

  so the link to your blog has changed from
  http://dgwork.wordpress.com/
  to
  https://dgwork.wordpress.com/
  when it loads in a browser.

  unfortunately this breaks the third party widget “cluster maps.”
  The only thing to do is ask at Clustermaps.com itself if it will work with wordpress.com in the future.

  Hi – the previous poster is correct but there is an easy solution.
  Firstly, if you View Page Source on your page you’ll notice that the embedded HTML code for ClustrMaps does not match what we provided you with! There have been changes at WordPress.com which unfortunately have a side-effect of forcing ‘https’ which does not match our code.

  The solution is as follows:
  1. Login afresh to your ClustrMaps ‘Admin’ page at
  http://clustrmaps.com/admin/action.php
  using exactly the URL you registered with.
  (If you forgot your password there is an option there to get a fresh one re-sent)
  2. Where you see the “HTML (thumbnail map) code for your page”, choose option [B] (minimalist). This will provide new code that avoids getting automatically re-converted by WordPress.com from http to https and will work fine.
  3. Copy that code from option [B] and paste it into your blog, i.e. over-writing what you have there now for the ClustrMaps widget.

  I hope that helps address your question. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if we can help you in any other way.

  All the best, and thanks for using ClustrMaps!

  Thanks Clustermaps for helping

  No problem – thanks to all of you for your patience – this change at ‘WordPress Central’ caught us off guard!
