 * I have just moved from a wordpress blog to my own domain – still featured by 
   wordpress. I have looked everywere on this supportforum, and I can’t seem to 
   find anything to answer my question.I’m sure it’s a simple answer, but I am not
   especially good at the technical language. But; how do I get a plugin button 
   on my admin page? I’ve tried to download several plugins, but none is working.
   
   It all began when I tried to get a widget from LinkWithin, and can’t even download
   the firs link described there. (www.linkwithin.com/learn) Can someone help? Thank
   you so much! Maria

 * airam09, you cannot upload plugins at WordPress.com hosted account, even if you
   paid have a domain name mapped to your blog at [http://maryathome.wordpress.com](http://maryathome.wordpress.com)
 * The only way you can upload plugins is if you are on a self-hosted WordPress.
   Org blog – where you need to purchase webhosting service in addition to a domain
   name, set up database, add theme, and maintain regularly and protect against 
   viruses and hacks, among other technical duties and responsibilities of a WordPress.
   Org blog 🙂
 * Btw, since you are on a WordPress.Com hosting, please post your questions at 
   [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/)
