  Hello,

  Hope all is well,

  Just wondering if I can get the “Activate Update Services” plugin on my blog?

  The plugin gives WordPress users the opportunity to gain extra exposure because you can paste “pings” or sites that look for new posts by bloggers to help get the blogs out there. I think it would be totally worth it. Here’s the link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/activate-update-services/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you want to install plugins of any kind then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  There is no FTP access and no plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.
