 * This might be a dumb question for most but after I download the wordpress plugin
   and the wpomatic plugins I cannot get them loaded to my wordpress.org account.
   I keep reading all these trouble shoot pages and I get this
 *  1. Extract wpomatic.zip in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
    2. Activate the
   plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
   s The plugins menu i have the directory and It wont allow me to do anything more
   then search and download. Maybe ive been looking at the screen too long please
   help.

 * Hello,
 * Most plugins that you find available for download can only be installed on a 
   traditional WordPress installation with your own hosting account.
 * WordPress.org allows people to create free WordPress blogs, but it is similar
   to Blogger, Blogspot, and other free blog sites – you do not have as many options
   as you do when hosting WordPress on your own server.
 * If you want a more full-featured WordPress installation, that you can customize
   any way you like, you would have to sign up with a hosting company of some kind,
   and install the WordPress software.
 * Hope that helps.

 * You have to upload the plugin via ftp or through the file manager in cpanel. 
   Your webhost should have provided logins for this.
 * Here is a tutorial for uploading files via ftp
