  Hi there,
  All WordPress.COM hosted blogs have built-in plugins. The Jetpack plugins provide WordPress.ORG users with the same ones we have here.

  However, WordPress.COM blogger cannot install additional plugins like WordPress.ORG bloggers can.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  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. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
