  Hi,

  I’m interested in participating in something called Discussion by Hubski, which is related to the news aggregator, hubski.com. I’m told that in order to do so, I need to be able to install plugins, which I can’t do on WordPress.com. Is there a way to accommodate this, or to work around it?

  Many thanks,

  absurplus

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

  There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install plugins or upload third party themes.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#uploading-custom-themes

  FTP access, plugins and third party themes are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs. They cannot be installed by bloggers on any free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  If you require plugins you can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. http://wordpress.org/ Then you move your content from the free hosted WordPress.com blog into the WordPress.org install. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
