  I’m having trouble understanding how to install a link to yelp next to my pinterest button on the top right of my new blog page.

  I’d also like to add other icon buttons after that, like ebay, twitter, goodreads, etc.

  Is there an easy way to do this?
  If it can only be done on a wordpress.org site rather than .com, is there a way to transfer my blog over?

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

  The Text Widget is very useful for creating your own set of social media links yourself, adding whatever you want and not being dependent upon the Theme or WordPress.com limitations.

  The placement of Widgetized areas on your site is based upon the WordPress Theme. If you are using a Theme that allows the placement where you wish, that’s great. Otherwise, it goes in the sidebar and footer areas.

  As for twitter: http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=twitter
  That includes several articles about how to incorporate twitter on wp.com

  As for good reads: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/goodreads-widget/

  ebay and others may be more problematic on WordPress.com. Depending on what you are doing, text widgets would be the way to go.

  Your site is essentially empty at this time. Please carefully read the Terms of Service you agreed to when you signed up for WordPress.com

  If what you want to do contradicts the ToS, then you may need to look into paying for hosting and using free WordPress.ORG software. Did you know that there are different kinds of WordPress?

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
