Jetpack should include a box allowing you to connect to your WordPress.com and activate all Jetpack modules.
Some themes, however, hide all WordPress alerts and notices in the dashboard. That could explain why you do not see the Connection box in your dashboard.
Could you switch to a different theme for a few minutes, or install this small plugin to force the display of the dashboard notices?

Let me know if this helps.
thank you! that worked like a charm!
Jeremy, thanks again for your help. I am now having trouble with my twitter feed which was working fine before I installed JetPack. Now the tweets won’t load and i’m getting this message “Please configure your Twitter username for the Twitter Widget”. I went into the widget and have entered my username a few times but it’s not working.. Any idea on how to fix this?
Could you post a screenshot of your widget settings, so I can have a look? Thanks!
Can you upload it to your media library and post a link to the image here?
Thanks! The widget seems to be configured properly. I noticed that you use a Cache plugin on your site. Could you try to clear the cache, and see if that helps?
hi, what cache plugin? I don’t see one? How do I clear cache?
Thanks so much for your help in advance!
I deleted the cache file from wp-content/cache but the twitter widget is still not working.. any other tips Jeremy?

Could you try to uninstall Jetpack, and reinstall it via the Automatic plugin installer in Plugins > Add New?
If that doesn’t help, you will want to disable all other plugins, one at a time, in order to make sure that no other plugin conflicts with the twitter widget.
Hi Jeremy, I installed jetpack that way in the first place and I tried the plugin deactivation but neither worked.. Is there a way to manually overwrite or is there another plugin that I could install to access twitter?
Thanks for your help,
Lisa
I could recommend this plugin, but if the Jetpack Twitter widget doesn’t work, this one probably won’t work either:

Let me know how it goes.
Hi Jeremy,
This ended up not working but no biggie, i don’t need twitter to be connected…
I do have another question: the title and menu fonts on my blog are fuzzy / blurry. Do you have any idea why this is or how I can fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Since you use Cufon for some of the fonts on your site, you might experience rendering issues. I would suggest that you experiment for font weights and font sizes until you get better results.
Another alternative would be to use Google Fonts instead of Cufon:
