sharing settings - cannot drag and drop any services?

    Finally getting around to TRYING to use the new social sharing built-ins for my public blog insightanalysis.wordpress.com. Alas, no joy (only sadnesss...;-).

    On my sharing settings page, when I try to drag and drop any of the available services listed (e.g. facebook, email, twitter), I can drag ok, in that only a dashed marquee line is left, when I head off with my mouse, but I cannot 'drop'. No matter where inside the Enabled Services box I am when I let go my drag, it seems to have no effect. Nothing goes from 'Available Services' to 'Enabled Services'.

    I am IE7, on XP.

    Anyone had this problem and figured it out? Anyone have any hints and tips? Puzzled and frustrated... hope it's something really obvious....!

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

    It works now. WHY it works now I don't know, but I'm not arguing. I'm just happy.

    @Kirsten
    If you can't activate widgets by dragging, then (while on the widgets page) try clicking Screen Options and activating the "accessibility mode". This way you'll get a more reliable "Add" tab next to each widget name.
