  I’m sorry but you can’t as the software here will strip the code out. I turned up that answer by doing a correct forum search. See here for search results > http://tinyurl.com/3cm92zw

  Edit: I see a typo “correct’ was meant to be “Connect”

  Those are self-hosted wordpress blogs. There is a huge difference between what is possible on self-hosted blog and what is possible here at wordpress.COM.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If you want to self-host a blog at some place like godaddy, bluehost, etc. using the software from wordpress.ORG, with all the additional responsibilities, then you can have friend connect. Figure an average total monthly cost of $10 to $25 depending on bandwidth and storage requirements.
