  I want to install a blipfoto plugin, I’ve been told to choose the plugins option on the admin panel. First problem, where is the admin panel? Can’t see any reference to plugins anywhere on my dashboard….I’m sure it’s something really obvious, but I just can’t see it, Help!

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

  This is the wordpress.com peer support forum. Our free blogs which are free hosted by wordpress.com do not have FTP access or plugins.

  WordPress..org blogs do have plugins. The support forum for that software is here >http://wordpress.org and this sticky post at the head of our forum states the differences between the two https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1

  There are many things that can be done to wordpress.com blogs. We have over 80 themes here > Appearance > Themes and many have customizable headers. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-header-image/

  We have a full compliment of widgets and some are specially made for wordpress.com blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/topic/widgets-sidebars/

  There also Volunteers on this peer support forum who can provide workarounds to achieve many things. If you tell us exactly what you want to achieve we may be able to provide ways to accomplish what you want.
