   If you're using WP 2.7, on the plugins menu click on "add new", click on browse, find the zipped plugin file on your desktop and upload it. The rest is explained right there on the page.

   If you're not using 2.7 or above, you have to use FTP to upload the plugin to the plugin directory on your website.

   You haven't answered whooami yet, and I need to stop checking in here tonight, so I'll try to explain.

   Log in to your blog. If you're using WP 2.7 without any plugins to modify the menu, on every page of the admin there's a menu that runs down the left side. One of the items in that menu, toward the bottom, is PLUGINS. Click on the arrow beside the name and you'll see other parts of the plugin menu, including "add new". Click on that and go from there.
