  Don’t watch YouTubes for instructions on WordPress.com blogs. Those instructions apply to WordPress.ORG sites.

  Your site’s URL will work for everyone everywhere. A www URL only works for SOME of those people, which is why WordPress.com doesn’t use it. You can go ahead and put in the www and it will work anyway.

  No, no way to add it. It works anyway. Think of it as you have a CEO level URL, and the www is only middle-management. You don’t need it, and it looks old-fashioned.

  Plugins are for WordPress.org, not WordPress.com blogs. If you tell us what you actually want to accomplish, we can generally tell you how to get it done without using plugins.

  hmmm ok you convinced me, even if I really wanted the www but any way.
  about the plugins, as I said I watched some videos on youtube and it was really easy to use to get for example contact us page or something.
  so there is also no way to use plugins?

  Then that is no longer a WordPress.com blog and what I’ve said in the WordPress.com forums about WordPress.com blogs does not apply to it.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/ if you remain at WordPress.com. If you don’t, you should ask the place you get hosting if they have mailservers.
