  At the risk of sounding like a total non-techie (which I am), I need to know if I have wordpress 3.0+? Is that the wordpress program you automatically receive when setting up your blog or an upgrade? Thank you.

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

  You question *as is* does not really make sense. When you register you are starting to use the latest stable version available. For the time being it is 3.5.1.

  Hi there,
  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  FTP access, plugins and third party themes are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate. if you require plugins then you must hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. http://wordpress.org/ Note that you can move your content from the free hosted WordPress.com blog into the WordPress.org install. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/

  The blogs at WordPress.COM are a bit ahead of the current release at WordPress.ORG – you are part of the testing process of the WordPress software. The staff does the upgrading for you and you can’t use Plug-in’s or third party themes so the version number is not very relevant to you, and there is nothing you can do about the version either.

  Howdy Howdy @TT

  Thanks

  The OP did not say why they “needed” the version number, which is not really relevant here – so I tried to guess at the why they ask the question to get ahead of their followup question if we just tell them “not relevant” or “nothing you can do about the version”

  take care and have a nice week

  Thanks – had a nice day sailing with some friends today – yesterday helped with National Marina Day by helping at a safety booth and taught some people how to tie some knots
