Is it possible to implement this type of page on WordPress.com?

As you can see, this page has numerous larger graphics that are simply "on the page". That is, they are not in posts or pages. These graphics come from various third party sources.
Another key feature of this page is the extensive custom link lists. Can you do the kind of free and custom linking to valuable and often custom designed resources that you see on the right sidebar on this page?
I don't necessarily have to be able to implement it exactly as I would on Blogger. For example, I can establish pages if required to do so (whereas with Blogger you can simply put as many features as you want right on the main URL).
Thanks for responses which I will very carefully consider and respond to.
