  I don’t have a plugin option with my wordpress site. Why is this?

  Hello there!

  If you are hoping to collect email addresses, to create your own mailing list (separate from the followers who subscribe to your site and receive notifications of new posts), I recommend using a contact form:

  I don’t have a plugin option with my wordpress site. Why is this?

  Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Please let me know! Cheers.
