  How do I access /theme-editor.php or is there a plugin?
  I don’t have an add plugin tab so I would need to know how to get that too.
  Tkx

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

  You can’t and it’s as simple as that. This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture and we bloggers cannot access metadata. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/

  That being said it’s of interest to note meta titles, meta descriptions and keyword metatags are not required for SEO purposes and Matt Cutts of Google has said that as far back as 2009. Search engines are focused on keywords in your content.

  WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.

  I suggest that your read these two articles published by Staff.

  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.

  Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.

  You can easily use keywords on your blog, though. http://raincoastermedia.com/2011/06/08/keywording-like-a-boss/
