How can I set up a simple slider in my site

    I am logged in to help a friend. I am used to concrete5 and wordpress sites where I can add my own plugins, but on this site it looks like that is not the way things work.

    I need a slider in top of the start page that will automatically switch between 3-4 images which should be possible to click to jump to another page of the site.

    Could you pleaseadvice me on which of the availiable plugins I could use for this purpose? Or do we have to move the site to another host to achiev this?

    We do have an account at bluehost.com, and could set up wordpress there. But would prefer to stay here if functionality can be obtained.

    Thanks,

    This is a muliiuser blogging platform. All blog wearing the same theme use the same template and only Staff can access and edit. You cannot add a slider to any theme here. It either is designed to have one or it isn’t. Themes with post sliders are found here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/

    There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install themes or plugins. Those with WordPress.org installs have FTP access and can install their own themes, third party themes and plugins.

    Please read this comparison WordPress.COM vs WordPress.ORG http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
