  This is the script:

  <script src=[http://www.hispanicizewire.com/wp-content/themes/hispanicize-wire/js/widget.js] “http://www.hispanicizewire.com/wp-content/themes/hispanicize-wire/js/widget.js”></script>
  <div id=”hispanicize-widget” class=”hispanicize-widget” data-language=”en” data-style=”1″ data-posts-per-page=”3″ data-width=”290″ data-category=”” data-more-link=”http://latinasinbusiness.us/hispanicize-wire-news”></div>

  Thanks!

  It is like a FB or Twitter box only with their articles feed.

  Hi there!

  Ah… I see. Thanks for the further explanation.

  Third party widgets cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  These are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin or 3rd party widget, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. If you let me know your goals, perhaps I can help further.

  For instance, if you’d like to add a button to your sidebar that allows other people to follow your RSS Feed, you can do so by following these instructions:

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  This is important to my blog because it is a strategic partnership with a media company that will provide some exchange promotional benefits.
  Is there a way to work around it with a RSS Feed, for instance?

  And if not, can I convert my .com into a .org site? And how do I do that?

  Hi again,

  Is there a way to work around it with a RSS Feed, for instance?

  Do you want the RSS feed of your own blog…to share with others? Or is it meant to come from the other site?

  Here are the ways you can integrate feeds into your site:

  If you’d prefer the feed to display in the body of a page/post instead of your sidebar, you can use this shortcode:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/rss-shortcode/

  As I mentioned, the following widget will allow you to add a link from your blog post feed:

  RSS Links Widget

  Those are your options. If this is too limited for you, you might really benefit from the freedom of self-hosting.

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

  Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
