  Hi there. We can’t use plugins on WordPress.com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  Thank you. I was afraid that was the case. On a different note, do you think it’s better to use wp.org than .com?

  WordPress.org gives you much more freedom and control, but you’re also the one who has to fix it if something breaks. You’re responsible for backing up your site, fixing it if it gets hacked, updating the software, etc. Then there’s the cost of your own domain and hosting as well.

  With WordPress.com all of this is taken care of for you, and for free. If you don’t absolutely need a specific plugin, or another feature you can only get on a self-hosted site, WordPress.com is a much simpler option. You can see a complete breakdown of the difference here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  What exactly does that plugin you want do? Perhaps there’s a built-in feature here that already does that.
