  I spend a lot of time reading WordPress.com blogs and using my WordPress.com account to comment and such; however, my own blog, is from a WordPress.org installation on my own hosted server.

  I’m wondering if there is a way to allow the two to communicate — or at least, set it up so that I can get “Track my Comments” and such through my WordPress.org blog, or have my WordPress.com account associated with my external blog, so that when members click on my profile they can easily find it?

  As far as linking to your username so that it goes to your self-hosted site, that you can do easily under your WordPress.com Dashboard>Users>Personal settings>Account Details>Website. Make sure to save.

  As far as integration, I do not know and hope one of the other forum volunteers will be able to answer.

  No, it is not possible. Your .ORG blog is standalone and cannot be connected to your dashboard or account here.

  Eddie, read my reply right above yours. You cannot connect a self-hosted blog to wordpress.COM.
