  I just registered a domain with wordpress today. For some reason it did not automatically make me the administrator. I would like to add plug ins and input actual code in my site. Please how do I become the administrator of my site? I already tried contacting the domain host, but they are unable to help..
  Thanks, Kerri

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

  Hi there,

  You are indeed the administrator of the site kerriderrphotography.wordpress.com. The issue here is that at WordPress.com (versus the self-hosted WordPress.org), we do not allow the installation of plugins or for the code of individual pages to be modified on the functional level.

  You can read more about the differences between the two platforms right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you find that you need to have additional functionality beyond what we offer here at WordPress.com, I can still cancel and refund your domain as it will be withing the refund period for the rest of the day, however domains can take a few weeks to be released to the public for re-registration. Instead you may want to hold on to the domain and point it to a different host using nameservers and consider transferring it once the registry’s lock expires after 60 days.
