  Hi John,

  I see that you have a Facebook and Twitter button currently on your site. Were you trying to add something different?

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
