Applying plug ins

Hello wonderful cyber people. This is my first experience developing anything remotely close to a website, and I could use a bit of help. I have browsed the “front page themes”, chosen one, and even downloaded the zip file for it. However, when it comes to uploading my chosen plugin, I’m confused as to where to find the “plugin text” within the zip file to copy&paste into the upload bar. Any tips would be great.

I also apologize in advance if this is a dumb question, or rather, frequently asked question. This is my first time on a forum too…don’t necessarily have the skill set to match my question to other people’s…

Plugin files normally come as .txt suffixed files, rarely as .php. If the content looks like real garbage you’ve got the right files ;)
