  You didn’t read this http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ We cannot help you here as that’s not a site being free hosted by WordPress.com. You are posting to the wrong support forum and using the wrong support documentation.
  You need to post to http://wordpress.org/support/ and locate the Codex there.
