WordPress.com blogs cannot be used to drive traffic to third party sites and we cannot advertise on free hosted wordpress.com blogs. Therefore wordpress.com blogs cannot be equipped for ecommerce.

matt mullenweg expressed interest in starting his own bank on his blog. this simple change would make it a lot easier for people to do alternative grassroots banking.

wordpress.com is a multi-user blogging platform. There is no FTP access to wordpress.com blogs. Consequently, we cannot upload themes, plugins, etc. into wordpress.com blogs. We also have some code restrictions as well.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/

http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

wordpress.org self hosted software does have FTP access. So themes and and plugins can be uploaded into them.

hCard is a popular microformat.

You have referred to something called hRecipe but have provided not link to it.

You have also referred to microformat tags but this is what I find when doing a forum search http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/stripping-of-attribute-values-containing-colons-make-microformats-impossible?replies=1 And my search of the support documentation http://en.support.wordpress.com/ for "CSS microformats" produces no results.

Is there support for microformats like hRecipe when your hosted on wordpress.com. The tags in the theme mentions microformats but I thought on wordpress.com we were limited on what we can change to make microformats work.

or how I'm supposed to center captions of images which are not in the post gallery (for some reasons) then?

and yes, strictly speaking, the OP issue is indeed more about markup than formatting. but to apply a desired format (style actually) via CSS one have to set up a proper markup first. if the latter gets stripped off by the 'paranoid filters' then CSS won't do anyway.

also, the wording 'formatting flexibility' was used just for a consistence with the post in the topic linked.

So providing a CSS upgrade for those to whom formatting is important seems like a good way to go.
By the way,the issue with which pigsonthewing initiated this topic is not just one of formatting, as one of his subsequent posts explains.
Interesting topic, and one that certainly makes a change from AdSense - thanks!

The more flexibility, the more things that can go wrong, and this way the resources that Automattic needs to throw at WP.com are limited; with more options would come increased demands for support.

Well, formatting flexibility has never been a high priority on .com; particular elements and their attributes get added (tag by tag) as people whine about it here or there.

Since italicisation conveys meaning in taxonomy (idicating that "this is a taxonomic name") and not just presentation, it's important to preseve that meannig when CSS is disabled, by using <>i. I have now found that <span class="biota"><span class="binominal"><i> works.

The bug is significant , not least beacuse some microformats requre classses on particular elements, such as class="url" and class="email" on (mailto:) anchor links. I've looked for information on how to report bugs, but can't find any - how is it done?

However, when I saved the post, the class="binominal" disappeared, though the class="biota" remained. Attempts to re-add it fare no better.

Is there a reason for this; am I doing something, wrong, or is it a bug?
