    As you can see, clicking the link there does not work to. If it helps, I just recently mapped the domain 5-1 min ago. And I changed the name servers from 1 and 1 like 15 min ago

    Hi there! When I visit your custom domain, http://recommendedbeatz.com/ , I am taken directly to your site. All seems to be working well now. If you’re seeing something different, please clear your browser’s cache and take another look:

    When you change your name servers and map a custom domain, it can take up to 72-hours for your site to appear properly online. I suspect you were seeing an error message because your domain was still propagating.

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

    Ok. I figured thats what it was. So ill wait til tommorow or so. But this is what i really need help with. Im missing the “plugins” tab on my page. And when i try to embed code in the “text” (not visual), they dont show. People were saying it was because i wasnt hosted through another site besides wordpress. So i went a bought hosting from hostgator. I bought my domain name from 1and1. So as of now, what is else do i need to do. Im so lost, i really dont understand any of this.

    Hi again!

    Third party plugins 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. As you discovered in your research, you can only do this on self-hosted sites that run the WordPress platform. I know this can get a little confusing, so here are descriptions of WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

    It does take more elbow-grease to build and manage a self-hosted WordPress site, but there is more flexibility when it comes to adding outside code.

    While you can’t install plugins on your WordPress.com site, it’s possible that we have a widget or feature that might suit your needs. If you could explain to me how you needed your widget to function, I might be able to help you find a solution.

    Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

    Well i need to embed my flashstore player and my mailing list on to mt page. I tried to embed both of them into the text (not in view) and each time i published and viewed the page, i saw the actual text instead of the player.

    Ah, I see. There are several ways to embed video, but I’m not entirely certain they’ll suit your needs. Take a look at the services you can add to your site:

    The mailing list can be collected via contact form:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

    Or, you could create a new widget that will link back to an email service such as MailChimp.
