  Yes I know where the Plug-in Admin is – one small problem it is always on WordPress.ORG installs and never on WordPress.COM blogs – you can’t do Plug-in’s here

  Are you or are you not going to import this content into a free blog from and being free hosted by WordPress.COM?
  Is the content in question in a WordPress.ORG install or not?
  If it is from a WordPressORG install then you must upgrade your install first to the latest version of WordPress before you export and import.

  Read this entry very carefully please so your are crystal clear on the differences: WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org: The Differences

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

  On this forum we provide support only to those who have free hosted WordPress.COM blogs. All others must post here for support http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  I’m looking to install on a free wordpress.com blog. I’ve nothing in wordpress.org at all.

  I looked through the help/support for wordpress.com for help on importing data from a csv file, and it pointed me at the plugins. Hence the question.

  What I want to do is import posts from an old blog that are in a csv format, but can’t see how I can do that.

  Any ideas?

  There is no way to direct import a cvs file into a free hosted WordPress.com blog. You will need Staff to help you. Please contact them directly.
