 * stchatterbox:
 * I didn’t say do everything without asking, I’m saying SEARCH first, most of the
   questions have already been answered or in the [codex](http://codex.wordpress.org).
   Relle and the rest of the team spends a large ammount of time documenting how
   to do things so people don’t have to ask every day. It gets annoying for the 
   people who spend their time volunteering and have to answer the same questions
   over and over.
 * If you have a legitimate question, ask it, but do so in a polite, readable format,
   not “OMG!!! HELP!”
 * Of course people will look down on you when you ask questions like that because
   you don’t have a lick of common sense and then repost if nobody has responded
   within the hour.
 * I’m not saying don’t come here for help. I’m saying search the forums, use google,
   search the codex, and if you can’t find anything relevent, then explain your 
   problem here and use a meaningful title so people will read the question and 
   be able to help you.

 * Ryan Duff,
 * No point to argue here with you since this is a support forum. This message should
   actually posted to you personally, but I’m “frightened” that you’ll attempt to
   spoil my image again by saying I spam you blog in this place.
 * There are some points I wish to make it clear. I am not a professional like you,
   and sometimes CODEX is too complicated for me to get what it means…Sometimes 
   I just wish if the problem could be solved with an explanation in a nutshell.
   Otherwise, I won’t spend my time here signing up for an account and do posting.
   Not everyone can have so much spare time on the net everyday to spam! We all 
   have our own occupations!
 * I think i know exactly what I’m doing and am not being RUDE or whatever. But 
   I should admit I was a bit nervous coz I got everything messed up in my server
   and need some help urgently. You might not understand how the feeling is since
   you’re so good in computers! Perhaps I was too nervous at the time of posting
   that I’ve forgotten how to post neatly and well and I want to take this opportunity
   here to apologize to everybody, and thank you to those who answered my question
   at my hardest times.
 * And finally, what do you mean by “Stop spamming my blog”? I think I just wrote
   you a message this morning. Well, I’m willing to admit my mistakes if I had done
   wrongly, like I have written an apology letter to Owen when I realized my post
   might annoyed him and I really feel very sorry about it. [Yeah, I admit I’ve 
   done something silly and I regret very much]
 * But what made me very crossed is that you have already given me an “earful” [
   as you claimed in owen’s blog] in my blog and saying nasty words about me in 
   Owen’s blog; and now you’re insulting me in this forum, plus blaming me to spam
   your blog. I think this is too much for newbie in online communities and as an
   expert in the online field, you have destroyed the image and reputation of your
   contemporaries and left me a very bad impression.
 * But I have been lucky somehow, another expert in the wordpres field, offered 
   me a very good generator to create Kubrick header.

 * Okay, out of control, folks.
 * Answer to the question: but where in the world should i upload the script?
 * The script is uploaded to your script directory, as you listed in your original
   post. `....com/js/scriptname.js`
 * Where do I “paste” the script?
 * Wherever you want the clock to show. If it is in the sidebar, then put it in 
   the `sidebar.php` template file. If it is in the footer, then in the `footer.
   php`.
 * And if you are new to WordPress, there are very simple, easy-to-read instructions
   on most of these topics at [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Lessons](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Lessons)–
   written with the totally inexperienced user in mind.

 * that’s really kind of you lorelle, and your patience telling me the instructions.
   I’ve finally got the clock done, and take a look! [http://sv.formulx.com/blog](http://sv.formulx.com/blog)
 * But it can only be viewed with IE but not FF.
 * yeah, should not have posted the above letter here, but i’ve explained that clearly
   and hope the “DUDE” will understand me.
 * again thanks so much.

 * mine is something like 1.0.3, it’s not the latest version.
    alphaoide might be
   right…..when I test the script on my PC, and when i opened it with my IE, a yellow
   thing came out attempting to block it. [hmm…..see how i could change the settings
   in 1.0.3, otherwise, i’ll try to get the latest version of FF today.

 * FEEDBACK _after downloading 1.0.4_
    The clock is still not shown; clicked into
   tools>options and changed the settings to allow java and javascript, but the 
   page remained the same: No clock…

 * Hmm, is the javascript in the source code when you access the page?
 * _when I test the script on my PC, and when i opened it with my IE, a yellow thing
   came out attempting to block it._
    What does it say exactly?
 * In firefox, go to the page, open Tools -> “Javascript Console”, click “clear”
   on the console, leave it open, refresh your page.
    Anything on the console?

 * Thanks, Alphaoide, there’s nothing on my console, but I’ve also followed your
   instruction:
    _In firefox, go to the page, open Tools -> “Javascript Console”,
   click “clear” on the console, leave it open, refresh your page. Anything on the
   console?
 * But still, no clock coming out.
    And regarding the yellow banner that comes up
   in IE, it asked if I’d allow such scripts as it might be dangerous.
 * So I think javascript might have something to do with the security and I think
   my problem might lie inside the security settings although I donnu how to change
   it. I’ve already upgraded my FF to the latest version.

 * Still there was a problem after i reinstall Firefox for a few times.
 * but see- [http://www.macaupost.net](http://www.macaupost.net) , the clock at 
   the right hand side works so well in my FF…….
 * or, my only option is to use another clock, any recommendations and suggestions
   will be appreciated.

   =100;</SCRIPT> <SCRIPT SRC=”[http://gheos.net/js/clock.js”></SCRIPT&gt](http://gheos.net/js/clock.js”></SCRIPT&gt);
   is also from a swf file [http://www.gheos.net/js/clock/clock.swf](http://www.gheos.net/js/clock/clock.swf)

   ==’SIZE’)clocksize=’100′;
 * document.write(‘<OBJECT CLASSID=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″
