  This did not work, as I do not have the same ‘add url’ option on my wordpress. On the ‘edit media’ page, I have a ‘link’ option in the description window, but that did not work either when I copied the external url into it.

  also a second question, where is the plugins menu button that is supposed to be right below ‘appearance?’ It is not on my version of wordpress. Was the plugins button removed?

  All WordPress.com sites have this functionality:

  In this post, I updated the image to link to here:

  

  As far as I can tell, it is working correctly.

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  thanks, that was helpful and I got the image links to work. Didn’t know about the difference between the .com and .org. Will have to think about that. Meanwhile, I have another question. How do I get rid of text at the bottom of the pages: ‘Blog at WordPress.com,’ and ‘The Sketch Theme?’
