  Hi @tryme21 — I’m not sure I understand. Are you trying to link to your social media sites, or are you trying to create a site that works like Facebook, using WordPress?

  If you want to link to social media, there are several ways to go about it:

  If you’re hoping to create your own social media site you might check out P2 for organizations, or BuddyPress and its alternatives.

  Just note if you want to use BuddyPress here, you will need our Business plan, because outside plugins and themes add complexity to our support and maintenance.

  This service includes SSL, direct WordPress support, maintenance, security, and many other features that tend to cost extra with other providers.

  Or, you are welcome to use your own free copy of WordPress with another host, and use community resources or hired contractors as needed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
