  I’m moving a site off WordPress,com and onto a GoDaddy site. The site designer used three widgets on WordPress.com that don’t seem to be available anywhere except on sites built here. Specifically, the Contact Info and Hours widget, the Twitter Timeline widget, and the Gallery seem to be only available here, and I cannot load them into my site when it is hosted elsewhere. Does anyone know where I can get these widgets?

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

  JetPack won’t fully activate without a connection to WordPress.com, which requires also a connection from WordPress.com. In order to do that I have to kill my existing site in favor of the incomplete site I’m working on — they are on different servers, and I need to change the DNS. I’m reluctant to do that “on spec”…

  Additional note: Jetpack help talks about enabling developer mode to remove the requirement for the connection; but following their instructions has no effect. Is there anything other than setting the variable in wp-config.php that will have the same effect?
