  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot install plugins.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.
  Please read > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  This post will be moved to the Ideas Forum.

  Well, all I can say is that’s a shame. Why WordPress wouldn’t take advantage of some of the great plug ins for the non-ftp users is beyond me.

  I thank you for taking the time to reply however.

  For security reasons. Plugins with malware built right into them are a security risk that a shared blogging platform just can’t afford.

  There are plenty of ways to accomplish this same effect in WP.com without any plugins. It just depends where you do and do not want the post to show up.
