WordPress Plugin Installation Guide Video

Lisa, Your blog is hosted on WordPress.com and sorry, I can’t help you with. This site is focused on blogs that are self-hosted WordPress blogs on their own domain, I suggest that you try the WordPress.com forum for help.

WordPress.com hosted sites have restrictions on them that I am not a fan, nor am I well versed in.

Very useful video. Plugins installation are among the most frustrating procedures in wordpress. I think that should wordpress establish an step by step guide. I don’t like the extraction to plugins directory system. I prefer the joomla way :) , where every extensions is installed though administrators control panel.
