  I do not know what i did wrong but I believe I installed wordpress wrong because I have a domain and hosting but my dashboard does not display a plugin tab. I have read multiple threads that state that it is because I have wordpress.com. I think I might have installed wordpress.com instead of wordpress.org. How can I fix this?

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

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

  However, we do have some really cool widgets. Perhaps one of those might meet your needs?
