   Trying to use Filezilla (based on the recommendation of this article)

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla

   to upload a photo slideshow plugin to my blog.

   I'm at "Setting Up the Options," and am contacting you (my host) for directions or help regarding an FTP account for my use to access my webspace.

   What is the Host, Username, Password (and port, if necessary).

   Thanks!

   There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them for security reasons. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

   http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

   Read this comparions please so you are clear on all the differences and know that there is no upgrade you can purchase that provides FTP access to a free hosted WordPress.com blog > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

   To move to wordpress.org where you can use plugins see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

   To create a slideshow on a free hosted wordpress.com blog see > http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/

   Thank you so much for clarifying that, and for adding the slideshow post as well. =v)
