  I would like to enable Google Tag Manager or Segment.com snippet to our blog site. I know your business plan support Google Analytics, but can’t I choose to put in my own JS library in order to support our chat tool, more analytics tools etc?

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

  Embedding google tag manager into a wordpress.COM hosted blog is not possible.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  The Tlk.io widget allows you to embed a web chat in your WordPress.COM hosted blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/tlk-io-widget/ There are no other chat options I know of that work on WordPress.COM blogs at this time.

  For stats see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

  There are also other free third party tools you can use. See here https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2014/05/28/free-visitor-tracking-tools/

  P.S. Also note that embedding Segment.com snippets into a wordpress.COM hosted blog is not possible.

  Thanks. Wow, a very limited platform :-(
  I hoped to get a flexible wordpress platform where I didnt have to host myself, but still at least having option to put in my own GTM code, while paying 300$/year…
