  Hi there,

  Please note that you wouldn’t have access to that on WordPress.com. However, you can still add a Text Widget and link to your Google+ Profile page. Here’s a support guide page on the process here:

  If you want to connect your Google+ Profile as well, you can do so with this guide:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  I was afraid of that. Oh well. I guess I can always move the site to where I have more control over the code.
  Thanks for the advice!

  You’re very welcome! You can always do that with the self-hosted, WordPress install.

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
