  I want to install the Repost.Us plug-in and their installation instructions do not match your dashboard offerings. How do I do it?

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

  There is no FTP access to our free hosted WorPress.com blogs and we bloggers can’t install plugins for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install plugins. Only those with WordPress.org installs can use plugins http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  We cannot use plugins on WordPress.com.

  If you come across a WordPress tutorial that mentions FTP, then that documentation is for self-hosted sites running the open source version of WordPress available at WordPress.org. WordPress.com is a hosted service where you can get a free WordPress blog with options for paid upgrades, while WordPress.org is the open source software that you can download and install on your own web hosting account. Please see the WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org help page to learn more about the differences.
