  There is no FTP access to our free hosted WorPress.com blogs and we bloggers can’t install plugins for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install plugins. Only those with WordPress.org installs can use plugins http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Please read the links that timethief provided.

  You cannot upgrade wordpress.com to use plugins.

  If you have to have plugins, then you will have to buy a domain name, hire a host, and get software to run your site. You can use wordpress.org software for free.

  Read this information carefully. There are different kinds of wordpress. They are very different.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
