You can’t use plugin’s on WordPress.COM. It’s an entirely different situation – see:

To use plugins, you’ll have to set up a self-hosted site – see:

Thank you so much! Is there anyway, that you know of, that I can use the template I purchased on wordpress.org and used on that blog, and use it on the wordpress.com site?

I’m confused as to the above – I think you meant the opposite – but in short, WordPress.ORG does not sell anything or host any sites (so you have to pay for your own hosting if you use WordPress.ORG software). You also can’t use a paid WordPress.COM theme anywhere else. I believe you can get a refund if it’s within a certain time period – but you need to ask about that on the WordPress.COM forums.
Yes, I meant the opposite like you said.
Do you know of a good place for me to learn more about the wordpress.com abilities, that walks me through it in laymen’s terms? I am pretty confused about all of this. Do you recommend any specific site to learn?
Yep, they have great tutorials over on their site:

What are you wanting to do with a plugin?
