  I registered for WordPress (thepayx.wordpress.com) but all of online tutorials show different features than I see in my dashboard. I have no plugins, no permalink and so on. Is there software that I need to download listed somewhere?

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

  You will need to toss all those tutorials aside because WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are separate and different. Please read this very carefully http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The only relevant tutorial for this blog http://thepayx.wordpress.com/ is found at http://learn.wordpress.com

  The only relevant support documentation for WordPress.COM blogs is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

  And judging by your blog URL –

  You might also review the TOS before you get too far along:

  Thanks for the Panda link in another thread – does not seem to be any change to my site for searching
