  You currently cannot add any custom PHP code or plugin to a WordPress.com blog, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to add this option to your WordPress.com site.

    Yes, but will we soon be able to have the same function on WordPress.com in the future? 🙂

Added it to my functions.php file, and the checkbox is off. Thanks!
