  Hi there – I am VERY new to this … I am using the Oxygen Theme, and wish to add a Poll or Quiz. I have downloaded the Quiz Master Next Plug-In but I cannot find how to install in my blog – I have found Plug Ins, but ‘Add’ is not available to me? Alternatively, I could use a Poll, but I also cannot locate where to access – the help says ‘Feedback – Polls’ from your Dashboard, but I cannot locate this – any assistance would be appreciated – thank you.

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

  Hi!

  First, taking a look at your site: awesome to see another photographer! :D

  Second, WordPress.com has some plugins. Do keep in mind that in order to add your own you would have to have your own installation of WordPress ( the publishing software used here ). There is some good information about the plugins uses on WordPress.com found here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  Third. The polls can be found in the wp-admin area. This is accessed by adding wp-admin to your blog’s site: [blogname].wordpress.com/wp-admin

  Hope that helps!

  Thank you for your help jcasta, and your positive comments … so from what I understand then, I cannot add the Quiz Master Next Plug-In if I am just using the free online version of WordPress.com?

  Re the Polls, I have found the wp-admin area, and accessed the Polls – thank you – but how do I then add this to my blog, or is that also something that is not possible using the free online version?

  Thank you …

  That is correct.

  It is possible. This page has a bit more information about creating and using polls:
