  There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access and the ability to use plugins. 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/

  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.

  Could you suggest a solution for embedding a framed web site into my wordpress.com blog?

  This link is to a discussion that resulted in a WordPress Plug-In for Enlighten Production –

  @723springstreet
  On this support forum we provide support only to those with free hosted WordPress.com blogs. We cannot embed iframes into free hosted WordPress.com blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to embed iframes, 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.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
