You have a lot more flexibility with a WordPress.ORG install on your own server - and you can write all the code you want - WordPress.ORG uses I think MySQL for a Database - but you could probably write calls of some sort -

You might ask over at WordPress.ORG about the integration - might be easiest with html & php where you have full control and don't need to do as much integration other than the User Interface

Is this possible through WordPress, or am I better off working with a pure HTML and PHP website?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have activated the Ryu theme: http://ryudemo.wordpress.com/ on my wordpress.com hosted blog. Everything is working fine but I cannot find/enable the Connect link on the top header - the one that is supposed to show all social media links.
Is there any method to enable this link?

For example, Twitter limits the length of their posts to 140 characters.

So, considering that, http://phlightschool.com/2012/10/15/chris-vance-performs-at-mic-stews-peace-world-listening-session/ is 100 characters, whereas http://wp.me/pzcRF-JD is 21 characters.

It's a social plugin we're looking into ...

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install plugins. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software. Also note that we cannot access the php underlying our blogs and edit templates or themes.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

There is no upgrade that you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access,the ability to install plugins, and access to the php underlying our blogs. We cannot edit templates or themes on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

I'm looking to give our blog's users the possibility to tag themselves and/or their friends on the photos we post. It's a social plugin we're looking into, so users would be able to comment and tag photos after "logging in" to our blog. I know this isn't a wordpress.com website but have a look at this website: http://ihateflash.net/set/festival-planeta-terra-2012/280198 it allows you to do what we need to.

I was wondering if WordPress allows you to do this, and if so, which path should I take. I don't mind upgrading the template or having to invest on a widget/plugin as long as it doesn't cost a fortune.

The blog template we use is Grisaille, and the blog is http://bustedqueenstown.wordpress.com (still on development phase).

I'll be away for about 3 hours so excuse me in advance if I don't reply straight away. Any help is welcome.

Best regards and thanks,

Gus

I suppose if it doesn't clear out by tomorrow afternoon, I'll let you know, but it sounds like at that point I'd need to approach Twitter support.
