Allowing links from Square Meal

    Hi, I need help allowing Square Meal to connect to my blog and the reviews on it. Their tech guys have told me this:

    Your blog is coming up as an https:// which is a protection system that blocks us from reading your URL – we cannot tell from this who is accessing the site (in this case, accessing SquareMeal.co.uk). So, our system does not know who is asking for the image link back. The default setting for the https:// is called #referrer hiding’. Therefore we cannot catch any incoming requests from your site.
    What you can do is add this line to the <head> … </head> tag of the blog – <meta name=”referrer” content=”always”>

    This isn’t a setting I’ve knowingly activated. Is there a way to turn this off and allow them to see my stuff?

    thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata and insert anything intop the <header>.

    Edit: web shots was meant to be web hosts

    P.S. Staff has been implementing the more secure encrypted https:// URLs across this blogging platform see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

    Thanks for that. I’m aware of the difference (well, some of them) between .com and .org. I’m not necessarily after making changes to metadata, just wanting to know if there is a way to choose weather my blog appears as http or https.
