  To use plugins you must hire a web host and then set up your own WordPress.org install. Please read this comparison > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. There is no upgrade you can purchase that will provide FTP access and the ability to install plugins, upload themes, and/or edit templates and themes in a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  I kind of thought that but I wanted to consult you all since you know what your doing and I don’t. I want to do iframes but obviously that needs plugins. Thank you for answering me.

  We cannot use iframe codes or JavaScript for security reasons. You need hire a web host to set up your own WordPress.ORG install.
