Am I limited or something?
-
I am NOT very wordpress literate. I have a free wordpress account. No upgrades. Nothing. I just signed up for a wordpress account and got a blog. So I am trying to add some plug-in’s but I don’t understand how. Do I have to have the CSS upgrade to do this? It keeps talking about a /wp-content/plugins/ folder and I have no clue what/where that is. Also, wordpress.org has lots of themes I might like to try out. Basically I guess what I am asking is this: Is there any way to do additional customizing with my free wordpress blog? Can I not add plugins and can I not change my theme to something on wordpress.org’s theme page? I have so many questions about using my blog but don’t even really know how to ask them because I don’t even know what I am talking about. I don’t know the basics. Help please lol.

All the plugins that you see are for wordpress.org blogs.
The only themes that you can use here are listed on your wordpress.com dashboard.You may need to read the sticky thread at the top of the forums that explains the difference between wordpress.org and wordpress.com.

lol ok thanks. I guess I thought they were one and the same and that’s what’s been confusing me.

Ok that clears up some questions. I have a few more. I am really REALLY interested in getting the most out of my blog…..personal satisfaction of having control over something LOL. So I would like to add additional pages. I know how to add an additional page. But, for instance, I came across a few pages that have several things on one page. How is this possible? My about page just looks like a blog. That’s cool, i’m ok with my about page. But what if I wanted to add another page that has alot of different content? Ahhh I don’t even know what I am talking about. It’s kind of hard to explain. Does anyone have examples of additional pages? So that each page offers something new and interesting and isn’t boring? Like, so it won’t look like just another blog post? Does that make sense? I know the “basics” of what is in front of me but I would really like to learn more.

And I suggest you link your user name to your blog, as explained in the sticky at the top of the forum:
Go into your dashboard -> users -> your profile -> then scroll down to ‘contact info’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ fill in the address of your blog and save the changes.
Now… when you comment here and on other blogs, your name will link to your blog. If you do this before you post your request for help, it will allow forum volunteers to be able to help you quicker since they won’t have to ask you for a link and wait until you come back to post one.
