  Hi all,

  I wanted to install a plugging to monitor the activity of my blog on wordpress.com. We are 7 users and I need, somehow, to track every single update and change made by the users.
  The activity panel on the dashboard is very basic, only shows the publishing time and user but it doesn´t show the updates.

  Is there any way to get more details and keep a more detailed tracking?

  Thanks in advance!

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

  You cannot do that on any WordPress.COM blog so be clear on that.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database.

  The best you can do here is to make every user other than yourself Contributor as then you will have to approve everything they create or edit prior to publishing. See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#contributor

  It´s not about having the control of the blog. We need to have all the changes “recorded”…

  There is no such tracking feature on our WordPress.COM hosted blogs that we bloggers can access. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting and set up a WordPress.ORG install so you can install such a plugin.
