 * Hi
    I am very new to this. I’m trying to install a plugin. It doesnt show up 
   on my plug in manager. Heres what I did. I hope someone here can tell me what
   I should do. I downloaded plugin slashdiilicious Went on unlimited FTP on my 
   blue host control panel uploaded slashdiilicious to wp-contents/plugins folder
   Went to my site plug in manager all that is there is hello dolly and akismet
 * I also phoned bluehost they said go to publichtml/wp-contents/plugins folder 
   and do it there.
    Still no joy
 * Also I have been doing it in ASCII if that matters.
 * Any help regarding this is totally appreciated.
 * Cheers

 * Just a thought… Was the plugins file you uploaded a compressed file? If so, you
   might try extracting the contents, then uploading the newly EXTRACTED file.
