  Ok. I like my theme. I just want to be able to add a content slider to it and a paypal retail front. But my issue is the coraline theme doesn’t come with a plugins menu. Does this mean I’ve reach a stump and have to upgrade to a premium theme?

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

  For more complicated changes you need the be able to change the css … – you don’t need a premium theme afaik, but you need a premium account

  furthermore I don’t think it is allowed to have a paypal retail front at a wordpress.com blog … – you can link to a shop though …

  this might help you:

  You can post an unencrypted PayPal donation button.
  You cannot use CSS to add a slider. CSS is only for change to appearance and cannot be used to change functionality. You will have to choose a theme that already has one. http://theme.wordpress.com/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
