  I have been working on a blog for some time and I wanted to add a few widgets to help me in my theme. One that I don’t have is “plugins”.
  I also wanted to know if I can find a theme from WordPress.org and upload it to my dashboard?

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

  You don’t have a plugins widget because you don’t have plugins. They are for WordPress.ORG blogs, not WordPress.COM blogs.

  You cannot upload themes from external sources to a WordPress.com blog for security reasons.
