  While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

  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?

  Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  Is it possible to transfer my site from wordpress.com to wordpress.org? I’d like to be able to install my own plugins, like a google map plotter etc.

  Thanks!

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
