No plugins tab on dashboard

There is no “plugins” tab on my dashboard. I’m not sure what version of WordPress I have. How can I add the “plugins” tab? Please advise.
Thank you,

Hi Shara,
WordPress.com has a lot of built-in features that were inspired by popular plugins. However, it is not possible to install additional plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs (using the software from WordPress.org). If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction: WordPress.com and WordPress.org
If you can’t find the feature you’re looking for, just let me know what you’d like to achieve with a plugin, and I’ll help you find a solution.

Hi Rachel,
Thank you for the quick response! The blog I need help with is a Twenty Fourteen theme, http://thegaiagoodnessco.com/. I would like to add social network icons to my sidebar, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Google +, Instagram, LinkedIn. I also would like to know if there is a way for me to add an email pop up field when visitors are leaving the site?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.Thank you,
Shara

Hi Shara,
You can add social network icons with this guide: Add Social Media Buttons to Your Sidebar or Footer
If you get stuck with that process, just let me know and I can help you out with it.
There isn’t a way to add a pop-up when visitors leave the site. I see you’ve already added a contact page with a Contact Form and a Follow Blog Widget to your sidebar. Those are the ways I’d recommend to have your visitors subscribe to your site and get in touch with you.
