I want to put a mail chimp mailing list plugin on my site. The instructions say
Unzip our archive and upload the entire mailchimp directory to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

2 problems;

1. I don’t know where my wp-content/plugins/ directory is?

2. I can’t find the plugins menu?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you want to use MailChimp with your WordPress.com site now you can do so by creating a link to the signup form on MailChimp. Here’s the info from MailChimp Support http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-to-add-a-mailchimp-signup-form-to-your-wordpress-blog

There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

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

See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
