Things are always changing here as staff experiments and automatically updates constantly.

What you need to know is that there is more than one kind of wordpress:
wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG

We cannot use plugins on wp.com. We have no FTP access.

Here are some details:

Which comes down to: you cannot upgrade on wp.com to use plugins. You can choose to find a host and use wp.ORG software.

I write a blog called The Techno Kittens (www.thetechnokittens.com). I’m having trouble trying to find plug-ins on my administrator panel and wonder if I am operating an old version of WordPress. When I signed up I did it all through wordpress so I wasn’t involved with the installation etc and bought the domain name through wordpress.

I was thinking it may be because the version of wordpress I’m using is old and needs upgrading. I’ve searched other forum posts to find out what version I’m working but I cannot seem to find the version number anywhere in my admin panel (at the bottom etc) or anywhere else for that matter.

Can anyone help me to understand how I can use plug ins and how I can check if I need to upgrade wordpress (and how if necessary!)?

Thanks so much
Leigh
