  Your blog IS a website. If you want it to look different, there are lots of options: http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=website

  You can only add plugins on a WordPress.org self-hosted site.

  See here for information about the difference:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  To make a static front page on your WordPress.com site follow these steps:

  1. Click Settings-> Reading
  2. Choose the radio button A Static Page
  3. Select the page you want to be your home page

  You can adjust your menu (depending on your theme) to display the other pages of your site.

  If this isn’t what you’re looking for or if you need more help, please don’t hesitate to post a reply!
