  Hello,

  I was trying to add a few plugins to my site, bangner.wordpress.com but was unable to do this since there is no “plug-in” option on my dashboard (sidebar menu). I wasn’t sure if this was do to not having a theme that allows plugins or if this is because I do not have a pro account. Please let me know.

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

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them for security reasons. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com to provide FTP access and the ability to upload any plugins . To move to wordpress.org see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
