  Hello,
  I want to add a plugin to my wordpress-hosted site. As the wordpress codex says, this should be possible by using the wordpress build-in plugin installer (http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins_Add_New_Screen). Unfortunately my admin page is missing the appropriate menu item and the “Add New” menu does not have any “Plugin”-item as well.
  Are there any ways to get this possibility?

  Best wishes,
  Norman

  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.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Were there any particular features that you were hoping to add?

  I would like to add a plugin called “Post Teaser” to show only a summary of my articles on the start page instead of the whole text. This is a feature I currently miss.

  Best wishes,
  Norman
