Wordpress has a plugin for Permalink Settings through which we can fully customize our URL and structure it into sub-folders as we like.
I want to know if wordpress.com also offers the same feature? Free or paid?

WordPress sure seem to know who I am as I only have to enter my email address & name for my little avatar to appear when commenting on others' blogs, but I was wondering if there is any way that I can locate all comments I've made on all WordPress blogs?

I decided to go all cryptopunk and start a blog via Tor. I thought using WordPress was practically traditional. However, when I try to save a draft or make a post, the button is pressed but the whirler keeps whirling forever, and the post never gets saved/made. I tried posting to the support forum, but the content of that post was lost.
Is there any way to post to WordPress.com using Tor?
I have tried Tumblr, Diaspora, etc, and I can post there. However, I would prefer to use WordPress.com

I am trying to post some source code on a WordPress.com blog. WordPress actually makes posting syntax-highlighted code quite easy--you wrap the code in a [sourcecode] block, optionally specify the language with the lang attribute, and you're good.
I've never had a problem with this before, but I recently found an issue I can't fix. I'm trying to render some source code on the blog with the following.
[sourcecode lang="html"]
<iframe src="http://someserver.edu/somescript.php?id=223"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"
scrolling="no" width="210px" height="60px"></iframe>
[/sourcecode]
When I try to preview the post, the HTML gets stripped from the [sourcecode] block. When I try to escape the < and > characters, the code block is rendered, but the raw text is shown without interpreting the encodings (so you see < instead of <, etc).
I'm guessing the original HTML is being stripped as rendering an iframe could lead to security vulnerabilities. But I don't want to render the iframe, I want to render the code behind the iframe, which should not present any security issues. How can I tell the blog to render my source code correctly?

Does WordPress have the concept of tag synonyms (like on Stack Exchange)? I would like to be able to link two tags (e.g., math and mathematics) on WordPress in ways similar to what we can do on Stack Exchange.

I want to create a simple registration form site for free in the fastest way possible.
WordPress seems appropriate, but I am not sure, whether the (free) .COM version supports such registration forms. Does it?
If it does, where can I find it?

I'm writing my blog posts using Windows Live Writer and I use Syntax4writer whenever I need to include codes in the post.
The output for Syntax4Writer doesn't look good on the Bueno theme by Woothemes. And I'm just free hosting my blog on WordPress itself (not the wordpress.org one) so I can't really customize everything.
I tried using Google Code Prettify by hosting the code on my Dropbox and then including it on the script but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Is there a way on using Google Code Prettify in a free hosted WordPress blog? If not can you recommend another means, maybe a Live Writer plug-in, that makes syntax better looking?

WordPress doesn't support iframe embeds on its free sites, but it does provide a Shortcode option for Google Apps. It seems to automatically convert the iframe code from the older version of Google Drive into the Shortcode snippet, but it doesn't seem to work anymore now that Google has changed the form of its form URLs.
Is there an easier way to do this? Am I missing something here?
The old form looks like this:
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=MyFormKey" frameborder="0" width="760" height="500" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"></iframe>
and the new form looks like this:
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/MyFormKey/viewform?embedded=true" width="760" height="500" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading...</iframe>
They work fine when tested at the W3 school HTML sandbox.

I have a public Google spreadsheet in Google Drive and want to display it within my blog post (people can directly see it, not only a link to the sheet).
How can I do that? Please help!

I exported my wordpress blog as a .xml file as a way to manually back it up, and was shocked to see that the file was 1.14 MB... It stored my whole website, including about 300 MB of photos, in 1.14 MB? Does this file actually include all of the photos/media, or just pointers to where that content is stored on the Wordpress servers? Is there a way to actually include the media in the .xml file so that I have fully updated my website?

I am currently in the process of having my wordpress.com (not .org) theme designed and coded at 99designs.com. They will install the theme for $199USD or I can opt to do it myself. Is it easy to install the wordpress theme yourself.
I imagine it would be just select the sandbox theme, and upgrade to "edit css" and copy and paste the css code? Maybe add a few image links etc.. Am I on the right track? Or is there a lot more to it then that?
