  I see that there are plugins available for wordpress.org, but I don’t see how I can achieve this on wordpress.com even with the Premium service, as it appears there is no Java Script allowed.

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

  Hi there!

  Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. If you let me know your goals, perhaps I can help further.

  Please let me know! Cheers.

  Hey there,

  I also wanted to mention that you can add your own custom widgets to your WordPress.com site in order to allow your visitors to subscribe to YouTube and Google +.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
