  I went to my dashboard, but I can’t find a ‘Plugins’ option so I can continue. How do I do this?

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.
