  Hey
  Is it possible to get wordpress.org blog on the same writing platform as wordpress.com? Jetpack is successful but then I can not access wordpress.org control view of what I use to manage my site. The WordPress.org blog platform does not have an HTML key that I could use to add photos or links to and to see how they are located there. Except for preview. Is it possible to combine these pages with the one that would be the .org page control view in .com

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

  When you say this, you probably mean that you are not seeing the WP Admin dashboard and rather seeing the WordPress.com (Calypso dashboard)

  Note that when you use WordPress.com, you can use only the Calypso dashboard. To use the WP Admin dashboard, you can visit https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs and click on the WordPressDotOrg site’s address shown there.

  But, it would open your self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site on the regular WP Admin dashboard.

  The goal of adding a self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site to your WordPress.com account is primarily to use the WordPress.com Dashboard for managing all your WordPress.com sites and self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) sites.

  The WordPress.org blog platform does not have an HTML key that I could use to add photos or links to and to see how they are located there. Except for preview

  On the WP Admin dashboard (self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site dashboard), it’s called Text instead of HTML.

  On the WordPress.com dashboard, it’s called HTML.

  Both of these perform the same functionality – provide the HTML view of the content on your Visual pane.

  I hope this helps clarify things. Feel free to get back if you have questions related to WordPress.com account and WordPress.com sites and I will be keen on helping you through it!
