Read > WordPress.com vs WordPress.org

s it possible also to create a sign-in/log-in area for my followers so they can upload their info

There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that will change your blog into becoming a wiki or a forum by use of plugins. Wikis are based on the idea that the crowd, collectively, has a greater sum of knowledge than just one individual. No one person owns or rules a wiki. The wiki model is one where all members are able to add and edit material to build a knowledge base is quite different than what Discussion boards and Blogs are structured to do. See: WordPress.com Forum Options

can my followers uplaod pics of their own?

Your readers can submit comments containing links to images and embeds you as Admin of your blog can approve them or not.

You can add users to your blog. See here for user roles and see here for adding users.

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

I am using the Coraline Theme. I would like to install a forum plugin for my site but I haven't been able to find the Plugin tab under the Dashboard. I have found a couple of materials that I will read later on but will appreciate it if someone can shed some light on how to install plugins within WP and if there is a plugin tab somewhere within the Dashboard.
Thanks in advance for all responses.
