That was a job and a half! I've ported my Wordpress site from their hosting to my new web host, so I could use a self-hosted package. (I've been dying to get my hands on full Google Analytics implementation!)
My domain was languishing on mapping, even though I'd updated my nameservers. I couldn't figure out what the problem was (asides from impatience at the treacle movement of DNS propagation). I flushed the DNS. I cleared my caches. I badgered the Wordpress team, on the forums and via Twitter. There seemed to be a major security issue, so I updated the SSL certificate. (Alas, I've been too accustomed to other people doing this on behalf.)
However, the main thing is it's now all working again! I have Analytics! (Yay!) I have plugins! (Double yay!) I also have a slightly guilty conscience that it may have been more to do with invalid security certs and a lack of patience. I'm very grateful to a friend who did a lot of kind hand-holding, and to the Wordpress team for putting up with my rants and fixing the unmapping.
Job done. On to the next job. :)
