The blog I need help with is keepingupwithmrsjones.net.
keepingupwithmrsjones.net is hosted by WordPress.com
On WordPress.com, we include the most popular plugin functionality within our sites automatically. As a result, WordPress.com users won’t find a Plugins tab in the Dashboard.

That does not help.
I am trying to transfer my domain and you have not approved it. Will you please do so so that I can install plugins? Or put me in contact with someone who can? -
Hello there,
Are you referring to http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/
Or are you referring to http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/ -
http://keepingupwithmrsjones.net/ is still hosted here on WordPress.com
You have paid for domain mapping. That is a paid upgrade which does not pay for hosting your site: the domain mapping upgrade changes the name your readers see when they access your site. It’s a pseudonym or a nickname.
If you want or need to use plugins then you need to pay a company to host your site.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/
specifically this:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/#change-name-servers-to-point-the-domain-outside-of-wordpress-comFor self-paid hosting not the free-hosting on WordPress.COM you need a few things which you pay for:
a domain name
a server (which will get your different site live and online and viewable)
and software which makes it work (which could be WordPress.ORG—though the host server may offer different software to make it function, or you could choose a different platform altogetherThat means the first step is up to you to find a host you will pay.
You’ll find some guidelines here:
https://wordpress.org/support/
as well as by Googling for sites which wp.ORG can be used. -
I already have a host that I pay: Site Ground
Does that use wordpress.org?
I am just confused, I thought transferring to a host would enable me to continue to post on a wordpress like dashboard. -
I don’t know “Site Ground” but many hosts allow you to install the WordPress.ORG software to make your site work there. Before you can transfer from wp.com to a self-hosted site using wp.org software you must install that software.

Here is a link from WordPress.ORG about installing the software:
