How do I add Adsense plugins to my current blog?
Also, i wanted to make the posts look like a rectangle. Currently different posts are being shown as in square shape. How do i change the appearance of these posts?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Neither are possible. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or any themes into them The themes found on the internet are for wordpress.ORG installs which run on different software.

On free hosted wordpress.COM blogs we can only use the themes which have been coded to run on this multi-user software and made available to us here. > Appearance > Themes and no others. We cannot edit either themes or templates on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/
If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

In a nutshell no blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM
The advertising exceptions noted in support documentation are for high traffic blogs that qualify for and are accepted into the Ad Control program, and for extremely high traffic blogs that qualify and are accepted into the paid VIP hosting program.

Thanks for your quick replies timethief. Very much appreciated. Will soon move over to different domain for feasibility.

Also note that purchasing a domain and domain mapping upgrade does not provide such access as your blog will still be free hosted by WordPress.com not does the purchase of any other upgrade provide such access.
Same Rules Apply – The Domain Mapping Upgrade does not enable the permission to use advertising, any kind of prohibited code, or upload additional themes or plugins. With the upgrade, your blog will still be hosted here at WordPress.com, which means that you will not have FTP access to your files and you will still be required to abide by our Terms of Service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#important-notes-before-upgrading
Also, i wanted to make the posts look like a rectangle. Currently different posts are being shown as in square shape. How do i change the appearance of these posts?
Do you have CSS editing experience? Have you purchased an annually renewable custom design upgrade? It will allow you to change appearance only and not functionality.

You will need to hire a web host and set up your own self hosted WordPress.org install to achieve what you want. You’re welcome.

Point noted. Its just a matter of time. Studying Web development currently. Will do it on my own :-)
Thanks for your replies. -

That’s correct. The advertising exceptions noted in support documentation are for high traffic blogs that qualify for and are accepted into the Ad Control program, and for extremely high traffic blogs that qualify and are accepted into the paid VIP hosting program.
