Oops. I didn’t realise there was any such distinction.
I’ll try again.
Thanks

I did manage to contact the author and he confirmed I can’t install plugins to a WordPress blog if it’s hosted by WordPress. i.e. I don’t have aditing access to the hosted files directly.
Oh well.

But the reason I signed up for the counter was because I saw it working on another wordpress.com blog site! Unfortunately I can’t find it in my history, otherwise I’d contact the author and ask how he did it.
The instructions (on the sitemeter site) looked so straightforward.
