Missing Appearance and Plugin tabs
-
My appearance and Plugin tab is nowhere to be found. Is this normal?? Help! :(
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The blog linked to your username is a free hosted WordPress.COM blog. Provided you are an Admin of the blog in question the Appearance link in your dashboard is found oin the far left column and when you hover over it a flyout menu appears.
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

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. -
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 are not, at the very minimum seeing an “appearance” tab in the left navigation module in the dashboard, it is either a cookie or caching issue, or you are not logged in as an administrator.
Log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and take another look. If you still don’t see it, and you think you are logged in as an administrator, go to users > all users and see what it lists as the “role” for your username.
