  I have an administrative account. But my pull down list to add my plugins is not available to me. How can I get to it? I used the link from the email sent to me, but can’t find what I need to continue on.

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload plugins, themes and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
