  My blog is hosted by a third-party so I would like to install Plugins. However, the Plugin tab is not available or visible on my administrator dashboard. How do I enable this Plugin tab?

  Your current blog is hosted at WordPress.com. We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

  However, we do have some really cool widgets. Perhaps one of those might meet your needs? http://en.support.wordpress.com/topic/widgets-sidebars/
