  I am hosted on a separate domain (Only Domains Australia) and mapped my domain name to WordPress. I am wanting to use appearance editor and plug-ins but do not have either of these options on WP Admin. One of the main things that I want to do is to add the Yummly share button. I tried using the ‘Add your own service’ in the Sharing section under tools but was not successful (then again I’m not really sure what I was supposed to put in the fields). Any help would be most appreciated!

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

  http://maudieandjane.com/ is a wordpress.COM hosted blog. It is not a self hosted WordPress.ORG site.

  Yummly can be used on WordPress.ORG installs, but not on wordpress.COM hosted sites.

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  You are confusing WordPress.ORG and WordPress.COM. For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted site running on a paid web hosting service.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins (passwords), features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting and move your content into a WordPress.ORG install https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
