    Hi I have no idea what i’m doing. I’m just trying to install the google charts plugin and I somehow ended up on /wp-content/ and the sentries told me I shouldn’t be there. How do I install plugins? I looked up tutorials and they said i need to upload plugins through an ftp? That’s a file transfer protocol, right? I googled that and it took me back to the plugins section and i would’ve had to install the plugin for the thing i thought would install plugins…

    Needless to say, I’m confused.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    All the information about the plugins is applicable only for self-hosted WordPress.org software based blogs. It is not applicable to the blogs like yours that are hosted on WordPress.com.

    I am sure you are wondering what is the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. :)

    Most of us go through this confusion. So you are not alone :)
