  This is the dashboard login link http://odccnmdn.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are separate and different. You are confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org installs on paid hosting.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Be sure to read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ Get hosting here http://wordpress.org

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  That’s correct. As I stated above you can only use these themes https://wordpress.com/themes/ on any blog hosted by wordpress.COM.
