  I’m stuck! I am trying to download a contact form (Contact 7 sounds good) to my WordPress blog, but when I go to Plugins, it won’t let me search for / install any plugins. I’m new to WordPress, but I want to make a success of my blog. Could anyone tell me how I am supposed to access and install plugins for my WordPress site? And help is super appreciated.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  For some reason, this posted under my wrong WordPress account. The blog I need help with is NOT 3essentials.wordpress.com.

  It is cookingcrazenet.wordpress.com

  Hi.
  Only the Business Plan has the possibility to add Google Analytics as an additional plugin. Otherwise we cannot add to the plugins that are already built in to the WordPressdotcom platform. You can read more about that here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  and here https://wordpress.com/plugins/standard/

  If you want add a contact form, you can use
  a) the native Contact Form:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  b) Wufoo:

  c) Google docs

  d) Jotform
