    If it's a Wordpress.com blog, you can't install plugins.

    If it's a self-hosted Wordpress.org blog, then that's easy;

    - Simply download the zipped plug-in
    - Unzip the plug-in folder on to your desktop.
    - Log In to your FTP Access using your favorite FTP Program, such as FileZille or CuteFTP.
    - Then go to "Public_HTML -> [your blog's folder] -> WP-Content -> Plugins"
    - Upload that unzipped folder in the "Plugins" folder
    - Log in to your Wordpress WP-Admin then go to "Plugins" from the left side bar and just activate the new Plugin!
    - Then you can go to "Settings" just below the "Plugins" tab on the sidebar, and edit what ever options the plugin provides :)

    Good luck!

    Do you have FTP Access?

    If you do, just log in and it should be somewhere in the "Public_HTML" folder.

    It should be directly in the PUBLIC_HTML folder or if it is in a sub-folder, should be something like;
    "PUBLIC_HTML -> yourblog"
