Hi Harold,
It looks like you would add this via a plugin. But please note that it is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:
If you want to add this another route, please let me know and I can see if it’s possible!
Cheers!

Thank you for your prompt reply. Is it possible to convert this site to a WordPress.org site? It seems like the .org sites have a lot more flexibility.
Thanks.

Hi Harold,
Yes, you’re right. The self-hosted .org sites do have more flexibility. If that’s what you’re looking for, 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 its right for you:
