  I recently signed up for a http://www.photoshelter.com website account and their website offers a plugin for a wordpress blog. https://wordpress.org/plugins/photoshelter-official-plugin/installation/
  I am totally new to blogging so maybe I did something wrong, but I signed up for a blog at wordpress.com and discovered that the plugin cannot be installed in my admin area. Can you please help me?

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

  Hi there,

  Plugins cannot be installed at WordPress.com. They can only be installed on self-hosted sites using WordPress.org software. The difference is broken down a bit more here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  It doesn’t look like you’ll be able to use Photoshelter directly with your WordPress.com blog. However, you can upload images directly to your site and display them on your sidebar using the Gallery widget as shown here:

  Would that work?
