  I am trying to add a plugin to my blog to get an interactive map. I downloaded the plugin and it should have shown up on my dashboard or under plugins, but it did not. I also have no button under plugins to add new ones.

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

  Hi

  Plugins are not permitted on WordPress.com. Those are only for self-hosted WordPress sites.

  To learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org (self-hosted), take a look at http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  These are the current map embeds that we can use on our WordPressdotcom sites:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/carto-embeds/ and

  Embed From Google Maps

  You could also create a map offsite and link to it either as a static image or a text link. Let us know if this is something you want more information about.
