  I bought a new computer and my WordPress file is located on the old. Is there any way I can retrieve my wordpress file other than going to my old computer?
  Can it be retrieved through WordPress?
  Thanks

  What do you mean by WordPress file?

  FYI, anything you create with WordPress.com is hosted completely on WordPress.com, so you should be able to access your blog and pick up right where you left off. A WordPress blog does not store anything on your computer…all you need is a web browser and creativity to have a happy blog!

  If your blog is self-hosted, you are in the wrong forum. Head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Beemeister Thanks for your response.
  I was trying to follow the instructions:

  Installation & Usage

  1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
  Do you know where I would find “your /wp-content/plugins/ folder”?
  Thanks again,
  Richard

  richard91326, you have a self-hosted WP blog. Please head over to the http://wordpress.ORG/support/ and ask your question there. Thanks!

  Beemeister.. I think I see the problem. I am hosted with WordPress and the plugins I am looking at only work with self hosted accounts.
  Thanks very much.
