  I am lost at what to do. I created this site through the wordpress site and I can’t seem to delete to footer. I don’t have access on the menu bar to appearances > edit or plugins. How do I get that? I haven’t purchased anything yet besides the url I want to use though godaddy.com, but I haven’t connected it. Is there a step I’m missing? I don’t want to upgrade only to realize I’ll have wordpress at the bottom of my site. If that’s the case, I don’t want it

  This is my site below. Help!!

  Masthead

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

  The footer credit is required to be displayed according to our terms of service:

  http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

  Note that even sites hosted through our VIP program, such as the TED blog, display a credit to WordPress.com in the footer. (See the bottom of http://blog.ted.com/ for an example)

  Let us know if you have any additional questions about this.

  While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

  Plugins

  However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/

  What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
