    Just downloaded a widget for my site from wordpress.org
    Using Filezilla, I am sure im using the right host. meltdownaudio.wordpress.com as found in the domain settings of my page.

    Going up the wall with this, very disappointed with the lack of instruction :/

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

    There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or any themes into them The themes found on the internet are for wordpress.ORG installs which run on different software.

    Plugins

    On free hosted wordpress.COM blogs we can only use the themes which have been coded to run on this multi-user software and made available to us here. > Appearance > Themes and no others. We cannot edit either themes or templates on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

    If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    What is it that you wanted the plugin for please? We have many widgets that can be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and there are also workarounds we can share for some things.
