  Hi there, just wondering how I can go about get full control of my blog so I can personalise everything, including my widgets i.e. so I have an instagram widget, shopbop widget etc. An example of what type of control I want is http://www.sincerelyjules.com who also blogs with wordpress.

  Thanks!

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

  http://sincerelyjules.com/ is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. If you want complete control then you will have to hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install. Please read this comparison so you are clear on the differences > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers.
