  Hi,
  I’d like to embed this https://tackk.com/3uvrm5 into my About page. I just get text with a hyperlink. How do I do this properly? I copy the embed html here:

  <div style=”font-family:’Lucida Grande’,’Lucida Sans Unicode’,’Lucida Sans’,Geneva,Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:16px;text-align:center;background-color:#333;color:#fff;padding:8px 0;border-radius:0 0 4px 4px”>

  View full version on Tackk
  Create your own customized Tackk page</div></div>

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

  That’s not possible as embeds from that source are not allowed.
  The supported embeds are listed here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=embeds

  How do I get around this? This seems like a huge hole in the system. I can’t use the Songkick widget either. What gives?

  There is no way to work around this reality on wordpress.COM hosted blogs.

  You need to hire a web host and set up your own wordpress.ORG software install. Please see Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress https://move.wordpress.com

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
