  This might be a stupid question but where can i add plugins? I didn’t see the plugin tab in the sidemenu on my dashboard.
  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Searching the support documents yields: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  Can’t do – security reasons – sometimes there are workarounds depending on what you want to do – the high number of Widgets are to replace many plug-in’s

  I’m having the SAME problem! I watched a Youtube tutorial where I saw the guy adding them onto his site, but the location where the plugin tab was for him, is not for me. It’s not on mine! I’m getting rather frustrated right now. Help somebody?!!

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  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.

  timethief,

  Thank you for the input. I just read that on the .com version can’t upload plugins. Oh well. Here’s what I wanted to use:

  There are two versions and the version you point to is the one that we cannot use. You need to get this version > http://feedjit.com/joinimg/
