  Please consider adding this plugin. It is not only easy on the eyes, but it also enables you to easily choose which profiles to link to, customize the color and size of your icons, as well as align them to the left, center, or right, all from the widget form.

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

  You can capture images of the social network icons, link each icon image to your appropriate social network profile page, and then display those in a text widget in your sidebar.

  Hi,

  I have a question about adding marketing affiliate links on a blog. I want to put it under my sidebar. Here is the process I followed. When I copy and paste and save the link under the text widget on the sidebar, only the deactivated link appeared on my blog. I prefer to remove them. My WordPress theme is Twenty Twelve from BlueHost. Do you think that this theme support the affiliate link? Should I change the theme? What free lovely and brilliant theme do you suggest? What do you recommend me? I would like also like to install other social media like twitter, LinkedIn, facebook on my blog. What do you recommend me?

  My blog: http://www.beblogger.net

  Looking forward to hearing from you.

  I’m sorry but that is NOT a free hosted WordPress.com blog and we do not provide any support for it here at WordPress.com. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have separate logins. As your are referring to a WordPress.ORG software install that you pay to have web hosted and you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click this link http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
