How to Install a plugin?
-
Hello, I pay for my blog hosting, yet is this the same as the wordpress.org account reference I keep seeing? And if so, how can I install a plugin? All I want is the SEO plugin. I’m a writer, not an engineer, is there an easy way to do this? I keep on reading horror stories of people losing all their blog content because of installing a plugin. Or should I just give up and try and rely on organic traffic to my site?
Thanks,
BThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Read Domains – Important Notes Before Upgrading
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingFor clarity this blog is being free hosted by WordPress.COM http://merryendings.com/ And, purchasing a domain mapping upgrade changes nothing except the URL.
If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

You cannot purchase an upgrade that allows you FTP access and the ability to upload and use any plugins, SEO or otherwise.
This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs at WordPress.com share a common architecture and we bloggers cannot access metadata. That being said it’s of interest to note meta titles, meta descriptions and keyword metatags are not required for SEO purposes and Matt Cutts of Google has said that as far back as 2009. Search engines are focused on keywords in your content. What is important is keywords found in your content. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/
WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.

Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
