  Hello,

  I just downloaded WP-Syntax but I don’t know what is the next step?
  I found that the installation command is:

  1.Upload wp-syntax.zip to your WordPress plugins directory, usually wp-content/plugins/ and unzip the file. It will create a wp-content/plugins/wp-syntax/ directory.
  2.Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

  However my blog is a free one. Where is the plugins directory?

  Thanks.

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

  There isn’t one. We bloggers don’t have access to the database here at WordPress.com. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  I suggest that if these are deal breakers for you then you can hire a web host and set up your own self hosted WordPress.org install from http://wordpress.org/

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
