    I am confused. I can not find the Plug In area on the site. I read that you can’t use plug ins for wordpress.com, just wordpress.org. However, I DID have plug ins on my site and I used them after watching your plug in video?

    Am I crazy or can you use plug ins for wordpress.com and where did the icon go for plug ins!

    Hi Joseph,
    No, you cannot install plugins on a WordPress.com site. Plugins are only available to users of the self-hosted version of WordPress found at WordPress.org.

    Hope this helps clear up the confusion,
    Shawn
