 * newbie here. I had such a hard time gettign my ‘5 minute install’ up and having
   to use my ISP tech guys I’m scared t omake any changes. When you d/l plug-ins
   etc. does it automatically go to the correct folder and no further response on
   my part needed? Thanks in advance

 * what lol, sorry for being mean but next time put a question as your title, i 
   only clicked this post cuz i am just reading every new post, yap i have no life.
 * now to you question
    wordpress is by far the easiest install and adding plugins
   or themes works the same
 * in your worpsress folder you have a folder called wp-content here you have themes
   and plugins
    lets say you download a theme unzip it and you want to use it, well
   just upload the theme in its folder, to the wp-content/theme folder than under
   the design tab in your wp-admin you can activate your new theme
 * same goes for plugins only, they are uploaded to the wp-content/plugins folder
   and activated through the admin link called plugins, quite easy don’t you think?
