  Please, I would like to insert in my sidebar an Amazon widget. But I tried placing the code and it doesn’t show. I also can’t find the PLUG-INS folder for me to install new ones. Please help me out, my email is (email visible only to moderators and staff) and the code I’m trying is as follows:

  <SCRIPT charset=”utf-8″ type=”text/javascript” src=”http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=CA&ID=V20070822%2FCA%2Fawestrwander-20%2F8001%2F77f443ec-4264-48bf-9199-e59c9e1907a4″> </SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT>Amazon.ca Widgets</NOSCRIPT>

  Thanks!

  I can’t install plug-ins on my blog because I can’t see any “plug-in” in my menu, and I can’t acess the URL:

  wp-content/plugins

  I tried

  http://awestruckwanderer.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/

  And it doesn’t work.

  Please help me out.

  Hi there!

  We do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can read more about here:

  WordAds

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:

  Advertising

  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities. Please see this link to learn about the differences:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested:

  Hosting

  Also, it is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs.

  Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you!
