  I’m sorry, that’s not possible. 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?

  If you mean external links in the top navigation menu, you can easily do it if you use a custom menu. You can read all about custom menus here:

  thanks that worked, i had made a custom menu but it wasn’t apparent I could drag and drop to nest them so I thought it would only support one level of nav

  @kardotim: Notice the phrase “thanks that worked”?
