  From the research I’ve done it seems that I can’t download and use plugins if my site is hosted at wordpress.com. First, is that the case? Second, if that is the case, is there a way to post with 2 columns in posts? I want to have two authors take on the same subject be side by side.

  Thanks

  You can create 2 columns in posts and pages in any theme. See here https://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/06/10/formatting-text-pt-1/
  But if you do want to create HTML tables instead see http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/table-coding-for-wordpress-com-users/

  First, is that the case?

  Yes.

  Plugin installation possible only if you hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up a WordPress.ORG install. http://wordpress.org

  There is no FTP access to WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or third party themes.

  There is no other upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Then they will have to be working on the same posts to achieve that.

  Hi @costarajah

  I’ve noticed that you’ve managed to update your layout to feature two authors posting on the same blog topic. Can you let me know how you ended up doing this? Did you end up pasting the CSS code in theme customisation or in the actual blog entry?

  Thank you :)
