  I’d like to upload an mp3 player into my blog. I’ve downloaded the zip file and extracted all of the files. It keeps telling me to go to my plugins page, but I don’t see it on my dashboard. Does anyone know where it is?

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

  Questions for self-hosted sites need to be asked at the WordPress.org forum. Our blogs at WordPress.com run under a different software. http://wordpress.org/support/

  If this is the blog you are talking about, http://dancewithbluemonday.com/ , then you cannot use plugins at wordpress.COM. Plugins are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.

  So does that mean I have to transfer my blog to wordpress.org? I just spent a whole bunch of money buying extra storage under the guise that I could upload music. What’s the deal?

  If you bought the space upgrade then you can indeed upload music to your storage space. What you cannot do is install third-party audio players. WordPress has their own.
