  Hi there,

  For security reasons, it is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.com does provide native support for galleries. You can learn more about them here:

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
