  Can I move up to a plan where I have complete control of the website, like upload a post with the HTML file written by me?

  Also if I upgrade, and the ‘wordpress.com’ comes off. Can readers still find my site even though they still use the ‘wordpress.com’ URL?

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

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com provides you with a Text editor, so that you can insert HTML markup into your posts and pages. However, codes such as embed, frame, iframe and others are not allowed on the Premium Plan and below.

  On the Business Plan, you have the option to install third-party plugins and themes. Once you install a custom plugin or theme on the Business Plan, you are free to add any code that you want anywhere on your site.

  Can readers still find my site even though they still use the ‘wordpress.com’ URL?

  When you have a custom domain (without the wordpress.com), the old URL automatically redirects to your new custom domain.

  Let us know if you need more help.

  This is not really what WordPress is set up to do. In fact, one could argue that WordPress is specifically so you DON’T have to code your own HTML. With that said, could you explain a bit more what you would be trying to do with this feature if it were available? There may be a way to do what you are trying to accomplish from within WordPress itself.

  When I was reading about their rate plans, it appears that their highest price plan does allow you complete control. When I post a site as usual, I just want to know if I can load HTML that I created in something like Dreamweaver, use another highpowered program to do all the cool stuff and then showcase it on WordPress.

  I mean, “make a post as usual”, not “post a site as usual”

  If you are using dreamweaver to build a site, you would not use WordPress (or WordPress.com) to publish it. You would just publish it as a regular HTML website.

  You don’t make any sense because you are using the subjunctive tense. I am not asking that I would do it but that I can do it? Does any know?

  You cannot do that with WordPress.
