  Why cant I see the plugins option on the dashboard?

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

  Because it does not exist for WordPress.COM blogs like that. It is only for WordPress.ORG http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If I switch the domain that was hosted through WordPress.com to a different hosting site will I be able to get plugins?

  Yes. WordPress.org installs have plugins.

  So just to clarify, even if I originally set up the domain through WordPress.com and switch it to something like GoDaddy or Hostgator I should have plugin access thing.

  Yes – that is correct

  You just point the name servers for your custom domain name to your new host and you are good to go – no need to transfer the domain registration –
