No, the CSS upgrade only allows you to change how the blog looks. It's not designed to add new features or to bypass security restrictions.

after searching long for a solution it appears there is none - appearantly wordpress.com does not allow those scripts :(

knoflach,

Sorry, no - this just has a link in a widget that opens the likebox if the user clicks on it ...

I have gotten closer :) (althoug it is still heavily broken ... :)) (by creating the Box in facebook - opening it in a new tab and copying the code - well - some of it transferred

(if you want to have a look :D)
