Hi everyone,
I'm new at this. The thing is that I just cant add ANY plugin to my wordpress blog. I have a normal free account and a normal wordpress blog. As far as I know I should see a "plugin" tan in the menu but, I dont see any.
Please help! there's a lot of things I wanna add like NextGen Gallery but, I dont know what to do :S
Thanks!

What is a normal word press account. What theme are you using?

I dont know how to say it. I don't have a website with a wordpress installed, I just have a normal wordpress blog.
Is this : gamenthusiast.wordpress.com
The Dashboard doesnt show me the option to add plugins :S

Go here, http://en.support.wordpress.com/, for support. Where you are now is for self-hosted blogs.

damn I cant find anything helpful. Just a question, did you ever had this problem ? I mean when you created a wordpress blog you could see the Plugin tab in the Dashboard menu right ?

You cannot install any plugins on WordPress.com, only on self hosted WordPress.org blogs. More info here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

Does anyone know a way to get a self-hosted blog? preferably free. Thanks in advance!

As told on the "wordpress.org" URL, you need to
- sign up to a web host (you can find excellent hosts for less than 10$/month, me, I'm a huge hostgator.com fan)
- purchase a .com/net/org/whatever domain name (your web host will be more than glad to sell you one, or even offer it to you if you're lucky), that will point to your blog on your host's servers
- install wordpress, either manually uploading the files and telling the database information, or using the auto-installer if your webhost provides a wordpress auto-installer feature (most webhosts do)
If you're unfamiliar to this, it's kinda thrilling to take these steps for the first time, I must say :)
