  Simple Q – It seems that with .com, you can only publish posts where the date is part of the URL of that post? And there is no way of reordering images eg. by anything other than date, or putting them into galleries/folders? need to build a website that allows flexiblity eg plug ins; poss a shop; ability to reorder photos already uploaded and not show a date on the URL, domain without ‘wordpress’ in the title or shown anywhere on the page.

  It sounds like a theme built around the portfolio post type may work for your needs, as they don’t usually display a date like regular posts do.

  Here are a few you could look at from the portfolio (free) category in the theme showcase:

  Blask – https://blaskdemo.wordpress.com/
  Orvis – https://orvisdemo.wordpress.com/
  Illustratr – https://espieddemo.wordpress.com/
  Espied – https://illustratrdemo.wordpress.com/
  Snaps – https://snapsdemo.wordpress.com/

  If you need to use a plugin we don’t have here, a self-hosted WordPress site may be a better route for you, where you’d run the WordPress software on your own hosting.

  domain without ‘wordpress’ in the title or shown anywhere on the page.

  A custom domain (i.e. one without “wordpress.com” in the URL) can be mapped to your WordPress site – either one you already own, or one you purchase through us. Learn more here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
  A custom domain is included in the Premium and Business plans.

  And there is no way of reordering images eg. by anything other than date, or putting them into galleries/folders?

  It’s not possible to re-arrange images within the WordPress media library, or remove the date from an image file path, if I’ve understood your question correctly.
