      @ TT many use Blogger because it's free and many dump wordpress.com because they can't place ad or Script without knowing that it can be hosted freely that give 100% flexibility to do almost anything.

      Ummm ... I know that and I laugh when I hear that.
      
      I have had newbies argue with me that javascript ought to be used at wordpress.com and when I asked them to explain how it worked and what the security risk is they couldn't answer me.
      
      So I gave them the answer.
      Blogs are served from (name).wordpress.com. The WordPress cookie is delivered to any site that ends in wordpress.com. Any Javascript on the page is legitimately allowed to look up cookies that would be sent to the domain it’s served from.
      
      This means that if you can run Javascript on a hosted WordPress page, you can retrieve the login cookie from another WordPress user, and then pass it to an external site. (Generally by creating an image reference that includes the encoded login cookie.)
      
      This is just a basic part of the underlying technology of the web browser, and it’s required for sites like gmail, Yahoo!, and others to operate.
      
      There are ways a site can avoid this problem (generally by constantly changing the login cookie data with EVERY response, and invalidating the old ones immediately), but they require more horsepower on the backend than the blogging sites are really able to provide, and there’s still usually a small window of opportunity.
      
      This is why Livejournal, WordPress, and most other hosted sites disallow Javascript on their pages.
      
      I have also had newbies go on and on about why they can't have Google Adsesne or other advertising. I always give polite answers. However, the best answer is because Automattic owners and management will never allow wordpress.com to become a sploggers and spammers haven like blogspot is now.
