  I am not understanding why you can add a plug in (such as allowing authorship so your image shows up in search engines) on a .org wordpress, but not on a .com. I paid for this site and don’t have the same opportunities as someone who didn’t pay for their site. I would like to return to the .org site.

  You can verify your owner/authorship using the following guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

  However, we do have some really cool widgets. Perhaps one of those might meet your needs?
