ADMIN - Please move this post if I put it in the wrong forum.

Anyways, I'm trying to put Adsense code in my new wordpress.com(example - xxxx.wordpress.com) blog but it doesn't seem to work .

As you may know, the Adsense code is Java. Do I have to turn on Java?

Sorry for the newbie question but I just don't know. Thanks

    Actually AdSense code is JavaScript, not Java. A world of difference there.

    The issue is that you are using wordpress.com, instead of your own site with a local WordPress installation. You are restricted in many ways with a wordpress.com site, adding JavaScript is just one of them.

    I suggest you use your own hosting and grab a copy of WordPress from wordpress.org instead. It's simple to install, and don't listen to anyone who suggests installing it with Fantastico or Quick Install. Once installed you are free to add plugins, themes and your ownb code - including JavaScript.

    And yes, this question probably is in the wrong place - there are two technical forums here that would be better suited to ask it in.

      Yes, I meant JavaScript not Java as I stated in my thread title. Thanks for the info. I do have sites with Wordpress installed and don't have issues using Adsense code. Maybe I'll go back to Blogger....
