 * If you want to use plugins you will need to move to a self-hosted WordPress.ORG
   site, yes. That means moving your site – this explains more:

 * Setting up hosting is the first step – see: [http://wordpress.org/hosting/](http://wordpress.org/hosting/)

 * does that means i have to pay for a blog host? means i can’t just use wordpress.
   com host?

 * Yes, that’s correct. You cannot use plugins on .COM and you have to have hosting
   for .ORG sites. There are some free hosting sites, but they are NOT recommended
   and usually have MANY problems with running WP. We generally cannot help with
   those kinds of problems here either.
