   Is there any way to? For instance, if I buy my own domain?

   No. Purchasing domain mapping provides domain mapping an nothing else changes. There is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install plugins. Only those with WordPress.org installs can use plugins http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

   But if you state what you're trying to load, there may be a WP version or workaround.

   The blog is a book review blog so perhaps this will be of interest http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/goodreads-widget/

   Provided the code is not an iframe code or JavacScript, third party widgets containing pure HTML can be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/
