  Hi, I would like to install a live blogging plugin on my wordpress.com site. To this purpose I am willing to buy WordPress Premium, but I would like to be sure that Premium in fact does have a live blogging plugin option?
  Can anyone verify this?

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

  That’s not possible and there is no upgrade that makes it possible on a WordPress.COM blog.

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. You are confusing WordPress.ORG and WordPress.COM. For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted site running on a paid web hosting service.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ Get hosting here http://wordpress.ORG/hosting/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_P

  Long shot: You can try using this workaround http://raincoastermedia.com/2011/12/23/coveritlive-in-a-wordpress-com-blog/

  Hi timethief. As I understood it, wp.com premium comes with some plugins, but of cause not the whole load of plugins that you can install if you use wp.org. But I guess I misunderstood. Thank you for the link, I will try that (I will try anything to avoid having to up set a self-hosted site!).

  Take a look at the o2 theme – I think it has live updates built in
