  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them The plugins found on the internet are for wordpress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no such widget that we can use on wordpress.com blogs. That being said we can post thumbnail images with links to related post in our blog posts and pages manually.

  Also note that the LinkWithin widget which does this has been previously requested in this Ideas forum but have not received a response from Staff. It’s a shame because I have used it on my WordPress.org install. There is no advertising supplied by the widget and it does exactly what you describe very well. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/linkwithin-widget

  What do you mean by this? By still using the link within plugin?

  Yes it would be just a lot more convenient if we could just install some sort of widget. I just need to get around to hosting my blog outside of wordpress.com.
