WordPress.com is an easy way to start blogging. Get a blog, check out our features, read the latest announcements, choose from great themes, or learn about the team behind it.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Please recommend a plugin that can insert post excerpt from provided url (possibly from selected text) and image from into my post. I would write some additional ideas to that.
Storify plugin is closest but I am looking for something that stores the content locally.
Have tried "Press This" snipplet but could not get it working
I cannot believe a plugi like that does not exist.
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.

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/
If you are referring to a WordPress.org site then you are posting to the wrong support forum and must post to http://wordpress.org instead. If you don't have a username account at WordPress.org, click that link and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the correct support forums for your software.
I am not sure if you are answering my question.
I do have my own installation on my webhost.
Our plugin Curation Traffic does that, we have both a theme version and a plugin version that works with any WordPress theme. Here's the plugin version: http://curationtraffic.com/products/curation-traffic-plugin/
If your looking for a free plugin I'm not sure of any recommendations as one of the reasons why we built our tool is we couldn't find anything that was essentially push button simple and worked good.
One thing on PressThis, if it's not working then it's usually a permission issue within your install. Usually editing something in your .htaccess or php.ini will solve this, but that's different for each host. Usually a search leads you to the answer on that thought.

I definitely answered your question. You are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help your here with your WordPress>ORG issues. You must post to http://wordpress.org/support/

When people provide WordPress.ORG answers here what we experience and increase in the number of bloggers who continue to post to the wrong support forums for their software. Currently about 30% of those posting here who ought to post to http://wordpress.org/suipport/ Please continue your conversation with the blogger above after he/she registers a WordPress.org username and posts to the correct support forum at http://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks
