 * Hi, I’ve been using WP that I dl’ed and installed using an external hosting plan
   and have no problems. Now I want a second wp site and have signed up for the 
   wp premium plan, the problem is I cannot seem to install plugins with this plan?
   On externally installed site there is a button for plugins where I can search
   and install new plugins. With the wp hosted site the plugins button leads to 
   link asking if you want to upgrade to install ecommerce and info about the hosting
   plan. Does that mean that I cannot install plugins with this plan?
    Thanks in
   advance.

 * Hi LynJon!
 * I think you may be confusing WordPress**.com** with WordPress**.org** as they
   are very different. You can read about the two here:

 * I hope that helps clarify a little more!
