  I am a new Blogger. I signed up with you yesterday and I am finding myself having trouble. I am not seeing a Black toolbar on the left hand side of the screen. I cannot add ad sense plugins or even see the appearances option. It is just a grey sidebar with only a few options.

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

  Hey there,

  Here at WordPress.com, all of the plugins available to us are already installed. You can read about them here:

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

  If there’s a specific plugin you want WordPress.com to support, head on over to the ideas forum and let them know!

  Additionally, the official ad program is WordAds. AdSense isn’t allowed here at WordPress.com. You can read more about it here:

  Another option is to self- host with a WordPress.org install. Third- party plugins can be installed if you self-host, but you are much more responsible for the technical upkeep of the site. You can read about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  If you have any more questions, ask away!
