Yes i unzipped. Anyway, based on your comment and my finally realizing that indeed something had transferred, I went back to FTP client and did it all again and voila!

Now I can get to work on what I started 4 or 5 days ago.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks. I understand. i just realized that a new theme is now there, but it says it is broken. Needs stylesheet?
Not sure why only part of it transferred. I’m getting closer.

Otto, I downloaded smartFTP and I think I got the theme file transferred but still don’t understand where I will find it on my site. documentation says that I go to Presentation, Available Themes, click on the theme I want and then click on View Site at the top of the page. . Problem is the available themes page has only two themes on it and I have to go to the theme archive. When I find the onle I want, there is not View SIte at the top of the page. another loop

Thanks Otto! So, I go find an FTP client to download that is compatible with Vista. Then I what – copy and past the unzipped list of files from the theme into the FTP client?

I know this sounds dumb, but I don’t mind if you don’t. The instructions are written to help those who at least understand what some of the terminology means. I think I see your point about automated installers, but for some of us who are more interested in writing and interacting than in the nuts and bolts of how it all works, they do serve a purpose. However, in this case, you win. I’m am slowly getting to where I’d like to be, aggravating those who are more savvy along the way. You and moshu have been a huge help. I can guarantee that I will heve more questions before you can type WordPress though.

Here’s the link to how far I got. Not sure what I do next. the FTP client on GoDaddy is Java. I downloaded the theme data into a file on my computer. Now how do I get it into this server? To be honest, I’m not even sure how to ask the right questions, but I’m getting closer!

No moshu, I did not see your link right away. I was in a rush to make it to a meeting. But now I have printed out the documentation you linked to and will try to figure out what some of the instructions mean. You are not dealing with a total computer dummy, but one who has so much yet to learn. At 60, I better work fast! I do appreciate the help.

Don’t know where WP Content directory is here. Here’s the link to the site. If I click on themes…well you know the rest. I’m just trying to use theme 13016 for my blog.

It’s on the Theme viewer page. I open my blog site and then scroll down the right side to THEMES. Then I don’t have a clue. I will read youearlier responses later, I’m late for a meeting right now. But I REALLY appreciate your help!!
