  Hi, I’m just looking to create a new website to track a trip that I’m doing and perhaps do a little blog as I go. I was wondering if there is a way to include a map feature with one the the free templates. I’m using WordPress.com at the moment? Can you add widgets for free or do you need to be on WordPress.org, or upgrade to a premium plan to do this? I’m just starting out and am a little confused with the different versions of WordPress.

  thx

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

  WordPress.com does not allow you to add plugins, as you can with the self-hosted WordPress.org sites. However, there are several options to embed Google Maps into the free (and paid) versions of WordPress.com

  You can read more at https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/

  Hope this helps!
