  Hello,
  I saw on google many plugins that let the user post on the blog but it need to be downloaded and messing with some source files.
  I don’t really understand how I have access to all that, the only mangament tool I have access to is the Dashboard.
  So how can I install such a plugin? or it’s built in and just need to turn it on?

  Thanks.

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

  re: plugins
  WordPress.com is a multiuser blogging platform. Our blogs are not free standing. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. There is no upgrade you can purchase that will provide FTP access and the ability to install plugins, upload themes, and/or edit templates and themes in a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  To use plugins you must hire a web host and then set up your own WordPress.org install.

  You don’t need an upgrade of any kind at all to invite multiple authors to contribute to a free hosted WordPress.com blog. See:
