  Hi there, I’ve recently created a wordpress site on siteground. After doing so, I found out that the ‘follow’ floating button isn’t present, and wordpress reader integration isn’t as seamless as sites hosted through you directly. Is it possible to integrate to the same level, or are those features exclusive to wordpress.com? Thanks :)

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

  There are some features that are exclusive to WordPress.com sites. Self-hosted sites will not appear in tag/topic searches in the reader, for example. WordPress.com widgets, such as the follow one, do not work.

  The counterpoint is that there are many plugins for self-hosted sites that may replace some of the features you are missing. But it is not possible to make a self-hosted WordPress site work exactly the same as a WordPress.com site.
