 * When I try to install Statpress, I get a message on my Plugins mngmt page that
   says, “Plugin deactivated.”
 * I’ve tried deleting and re-ftp’ing the files. I’ve tried re-downloading.
 * I have successfully installed other plugins.
 * Incidentally, I installed WordPress.com stats but then it asked for my WordPress.
   com API Key. (Yes, I’ve seen posts on this and no, I don’t think they answered
   my q.) I don’t have a wordpress.com account so I guess I can’t use WordPress.
   com stats. So I’d really like to get Statpress working.

 * Good news … I figured out the trouble with Statpress and my other Plugins.
 * They had each unzipped as a folder within a folder. So WP wasn’t recognizing 
   them.
 * I re-FTP’d the files, using the subfolders that actually contained the necessary
   files. And ta-da! It all works beautifully.
