  I have looked everywhere and read everything. I do not have “plugins” anywhere on my dashboard on the left hand side. How do I get it installed? Help! I have a self-hosted site with DreamHost.

  Hi there,

  Can you send me a link to the site where you aren’t seeing the plugins section in your dashboard?

  Blogs hosted here at WordPress.com (like your blog expatadventureblog.com) can’t add plugins for security reasons. You can find out more about this topic here: http://support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  But if the site where you are having this issue is self-hosted, you should have a plugins section. If you send me a link to that site, I can confirm where it is hosted and we can go from there.
