Thanks! I am specifically looking to be able to have a shopping cart on my page so that i can sell what I make as well as blog about it. I will search through the widgets to see :)

I see. If you require e-commerce/shopping cart functionality, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on e-commerce if you set up a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.
We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested.
