  Hello – I have been using .org for a few years and just realized I purchased a bundle for wordpress.com. Now I don’t know what I have or what actually I bought. I know I have domain mapping, custom design (not sure what to do with that), space upgrade, no ads, VideoPress HOWEVER I simply want to be able to change the colors of my front page “In the News” is the first thing you will see AND be able to add Plug In Wysija BUT there is no admin menu item called PLUG IN. Can you help me?

  Hi there!

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org. You can find out more about this topic here: http://support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/

  What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?

  For more information on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, please see: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  With the Premium upgrade, Custom Design is what will allow you to change the colors on your site. Here’s more information on this upgrade that might be useful:

  I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
