  Hi there,
  re: http://wavesrolljanetswords.wordpress.com/
  The version of WordPress software every wordpress.COM site runs on is the most recent one. Here, at wordpress.COM our Staff do all version upgrades for us users, and they are done 1 month before they are released to wordpress.ORG users.

  If you are reading anything other than the relevant support documentation here http://support.wordpress.com that applies to all wordpress.COM hosted blogs like your site then toss it away as it does not apply to your site.

  There is no FTP access https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ and no blogger installed plugin capability. There never has been as blogger installed plugin capability here as plugins are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons. No upgrade changes that reality. https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

  We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you move to self-hosting, and if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
