  Do I have to have a host such as Bluepost or iPage to blog effectively? Is there an advantage to a host that I don’t get through WordPress? Do I have to subscribe to the business version of WordPress to use the reftagger plugin?

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

  Hi,

  1) Having your site hosted through WordPress doesn’t affect your ability to blog effectively. If you would like to have a more custom url, you can upgrade to a paid account to remove the wordpress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plan-features/

  2) WordPress websites make up nearly 30% of the internet. It’s a fantastic way to host your website with lots of support and reliability. https://en.support.wordpress.com/do-i-need-to-self-host/

  3) To use Plugins other than ones which are built in, you need to have a Business account: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/adding-plugins/

  Hope this helps :)
