this should get you started: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

I have a name.wordpress.com address.

I see that you have your usename linked to a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them or third party themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

Why not follow the supportbot's friendly advice?

I recently tried downloading and installing WordPress on my computer but got stuck. I downloaded the Webmatrix thingy and every time I try installing WordPress, it comes to the page of creating a server (won't let me) or using an existing server (won't let me). Any help ?!?!
