    I am trying to take advantage of all the new additions that the WordPress team have created for us. One of them is that SHARE button. The instructions below lost me at item 2). I downloaded the thing but cannot find my wp-content/plugins directory. I have looked (seemingly) everywhere…..

    AddThis WordPress Plugin (drop-down version)

    Hot! Hot! We’ve got it! We now also have a WordPress Plugin for the new drop-down version of the widget. This Plugin will automatically insert the AddThis widget below each post in your blog (see it below this post). It’s very easy to install, you don’t even need to change anything in your templates. Here are the instructions:

    1) Download it on your computer, and unzip it
    2) Upload it into your wp-content/plugins directory
    3) Log into your WordPress blog, click on the ‘Plugins’ tab, and click ‘Activate’

    We on WP.Com can not download plugins. They can do that on WP.Org. Don’t know if you’re in the wrong forum, or if you’re attempting to do something which we can’t on Wp.Com?

    lornakismet,
    I think you are reading information from the wrong forum:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/
    The blog linked to your name is a Wordpres.COM blog.
    read about the differences between .com and .org:
    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1
    It’s in the sticky posts at the top of this forum.
    The software is similar (maybe), but the dot-com blogs (FREE) can’t do the same things.
