  I am trying to embed a custom HTML on my free wordpress site, to display my Instagram posts. When I preview it on the editing page, it shows up correctly. But when I open up my actual website, it shows up as a link, rather than the images I want it to display. Anyone know how to fix this?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  You can’t just use any html code on a free wordpress.com website. E.g. the embed code won’t work unless you upgrade to the Business Plan.
