WordPress Plugin Question

Question

Hi all,

Is it possible to use plugins on my blog for WordPress.com? There are some very nice tutorials on how to do this if I have WordPress installed on my own server, but I am using wordpress.com. Does anyone know if they allow this? It seems like the expected "Plugin" category on my dashboard is missing.

Many thanks, brett

Answer 1

It already has some plugins built in such as Akismet, but you can not add your own on Wordpress.com (you can't even add other themes and can only use the ones they provide).

Here is a list of the free features. With premium paid for features, you also have the ability to use your own domain name and can customize your CSS (as well as some other stuff).

Answer 2

Wordpress.com doesn't let you install your own plugins.
