    I hate that I can't add coding to use google analytics or facebook like box & button! I paid for my domain and I feel that I should be able to do the same things my wordpress.org friends can do. Is there anyway to add a facebook like button?

    The blog I need help with is haight68ashbury.com.

    Yes. You can include the Facebook like button bottom of each post and page, and you can now include sharing buttons for your readers to share your content across a range of social networks/services. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/

    Also note that you purchased a domain and domain mapping and nothing more than that. The support documentation clearly states this:

    Before Upgrading – Important Notes
    Same Rules Apply – The Domain Mapping Upgrade does not enable the permission to use advertising, any kind of prohibited code, or upload additional themes or plugins. With the upgrade, your blog will still be hosted here at WordPress.com, which means that you will not have FTP access to your files and you will still be required to abide by our Terms of Service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/

    If you aren't happy here there is an alternative and that's to hire a web host and move your content into a wordpress.ORG install. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Also with regard to Google Analytics the support documentation on stats clearly states this:

    Can I use Google Analytics?
    No, Google Analytics cannot be used on WordPress.com blogs at this time. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/
