    New wp user here.
    I have a blog and want to add a particular plugin http://ezbizniz.com/wp/plugins/seo
    The option to find plugins doesn’t seem to be there for me in the dashboard though.
    How do I get this menu item to appear?
    Am I right in thinking that it might have something to do with where the blog is hosted?
    I think it’s currently being hosted at WordPress.org – do I simply switch this via the godaddy control panel (bought domain from there)
    Thanks

    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. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs 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.

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

    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 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.

    What is it that you wanted the plugin for please? We have many widgets that can be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and there are also workarounds we can share for some things.

    I do see the plugin you wanted above. There is no workaround for that. We Volunteers have compared the same content on WordPress.com blogs and in WordPress.org installs with SEO plugins. The SEO on WordPress.com blogs rocks! All WordPress.com bloggers have to learn and apply is basic whitehat SEO for on page and off page SEO.
