    Hello. I'm a new blogger and I'd like to know what free themes should I use to make my blog look professional looking.
    Also,how I can add HTML widgets to my website side bar.
    Like the whos.amung.us widget won't show.
    My blog address is http://everythingweekly.wordpress.com/

    The blog I need help with is everythingweekly.wordpress.com.

    Just look at the themes in your dashboard until you find one you like - what is right is in the eye of the blog owner - your current theme looks fine to me

    You can use the text widget but some types of code get stripped out such as Java Script - so any tracking Widgets need to use the Plain HTML version - many tracking sites offer the Plain HTML version - in some cases you need to ask for the plain version - sorry don't know about who's amung us

    I know,thanks,but from your point of view,what's your liking. Why do strip out codes like Java?I see some WordPress sites with Java script widgets,seriously. Okay,I guess I'll have to ask.
    Thanks a lot!

    This is a multiuser blogging platform and JavaScript is a high security risk, given the fact our blogs are not free standing. One incident of bad script could bring down many blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript
