  I do not host my blog. It is hosted on wordpress.com. I have looked through the wordpress.com support forums but did not see a straight answer. All I am simply asking is: How can I get to the administration page of my blog?

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

  All this does is it takes me to the Dashboard page. Where is the Administration page? or is it that the Administration page = Dashboard page?

  There is no c panel if that you expect. They are only on WordPress.org installs. Read the comparison please for clarity > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  ok so essentially there is no way to access the administration page ( similar to a c panel) on a blog hosted on wordpress.com. Here is what I was trying to do with my blog:

  1. Access administration page
  2. Install translation plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress/)

  Is there another way to translate my blog posts via wordpress.com?

  Read the WordPres.COM vs WordPress.ORG comparison please for clarity > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. To have plugins you need to hire a web host and set up your own self hosted WordPress.org install.
  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this.

  We can’t use Microsoft or Google translation widgets or any others as they are JavaScript and it’s stripped out to preserve security on this multiuser blogging platform. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  However, I have translation on my WordPress.com blogs. There are two workarounds and you will find them here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/02/14/translation-widget-for-wordpress-com-blogs/

  You can copy and paste the code on my Translations page and then replace every occurrence of my blog’s URL in the code with your own blog’s URL.
