  I have a wordpress.com blog. I want to add plug-ins. Numerous instructions tell me to download the plugin, extract, then upload the plugin to the wp-admin/plugin directory.

  Upload /[name of plugin/ directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

  First, I cannot fine the Plugins menu on my Admin page anywhere. What am I doing wrong? I don’t understand how to add a plugin.

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

  If you are talking about this blog, http://armedbrothers.wordpress.com/ then you cannot use plugins. Plugins are only for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG

  Thanks “thesacredpath!” I was wondering the same thing about a wordpress.com blog.
