I have no idea what to do to add plugins
-
I would like to embed my mp4 videos. However, I cannot add easy-video-player.zip because there is no option to add new plugins.
There is a lot of advice to solve this problem in google searches except I don’t have any of the options to do it with. Like no network option to change myself to a super administrator…What the heck kind of version do I have???
I also cannot update my wordpress…I also don’t know what version it is…

https://karenkamportfolio.wordpress.com/ is hosted by wordpress.COM.
It is not a wordpress.ORG software install so you cannot upload and run blogger installed plugins on it. There is no FTP access and blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs, and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins (passwords), features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
You can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting and move your content into a WordPress.ORG install https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

https://karenkamportfolio.wordpress.com/ is hosted by wordpress.COM and all wordpress.COM hosted blogs are running on the latest version. All upgrades are done by Staff. We bloggers, do nothing at all. In fact, this the BETA test platform for all new wordpress versions and they are up and running here at wordpress.COM about a month before they become available to wordpress.ORG users.

I would like to embed my mp4 videos
All support docs are at http://support.wordpress.com
All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. If you need more space you can purchase the Premium plan which will give you an additional 10 gigabytes of storage space, and allow you to upload audio files. The Business plan includes infinite storage.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/There are no bandwidth limits.
The video embeds that WordPress.com supports for all of our blogs – no upgrade required are found here.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video
For youtube embedding into wordpress.COM blogs see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/
Note videopress https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/
However, if you upload them to youtube or another supported video source site then you do not need the upgrade. -
As always, a comprehensive answer TimeThief. Thank you.
Interestingly, when I went to the My Stats page (new format), I noticed in the left-side bar, under “Configure” an icon and the word “Plugins”. I then found in the Forum a link to an Ideas pages where WP is inviting members to suggest plugins that they think should be added to WP.com.
This is an interesting development. I wonder if it will lead to a loosening of the restriction at some point down the road.
Happy New Year!

That’s for those who have Jetpack sites linked to their wordpress.COm accounts. They use the Jetpack for their stats.

Got it. Thanks. I also found that those paying for the business package have plugins for e-commerce.
