  You cannot add WordPress.org plugins to a WordPress.com blog.

  Im a noob at wordpress but I have coding experience. I tried downloading the float to top button, but when I read the readme all it said was “* Install the plugin through the Plugins interface or by uploading the scroll-back-to-top directory to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  * Activate the Scroll Back to Top plugin.
  * You’re done, the scroll back to top button should appear on all pages after you scroll down a little bit. If you’d like to customize the design you may continue.” Can you help me find the interfaces its refering to?

  No, there are not.

  Some wp.com themes have this feature but most don’t.

  Thank you for your help you really solved the mix up. How do I add new dynamic features like a scroll to top , or something like that? Custom css? Do you have any references? thanks

  You find a theme on the Dashboard Themes page that does this. I don’t believe Custom CSS can change the functionality of a theme.

  Yes, it will change your entire theme.

  You do not have access to the underlying files in order to add that code into an existing theme here at WordPress.com. Those instructions are for WordPress.org blogs only. That is not CSS code.
