 * I’ve downloaded a plug-in but I have no idea how to upload it to wp-content/plugins
   directory. Where do I find it?

 * After you unzip the plugin on your HD, upload it to your site using a reliable
   FTP like [Filezilla](http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client). 
   Be sure to read any documentation that comes with the plugin so that you avoid
   the “nested” folders problem.
