 * Hi there…
 * I feel really stupid asking this question but I am completely stumped as to where
   to find the wp-content/themes directory to upload a theme to. Please help! I’ve
   looked everywhere. I am using AN Hosting if that is relevant…
 * Thank you!! 🙂
 * Vanessa

 * Start by going to the root directory of your hosting account. This might be public_html
   or maybe www. Have a look for WordPress.

 * hey Vanessa! it’s that easy, all your themes should be uploaded right unto
    **/
   wp-content/themes/**
 * and then it could be looking something like
 * **/wp-content/themes/my-theme
    /wp-content/themes/his-theme /wp-content/themes/
   her-theme
 * and so on!

 * Thank you for answering! 🙂
 * I found public-html and www in file manager, but nothing happens when I click
   on them apart from being given the option to move/rename/delete/copy or change
   permissions on the folder.
 * What should I do next? You have no idea how much I appreciate this…

 * Use the left hand window? Or click in a different way. It is not intuitive. The
   difference between selecting and clicking (or double clicking?)But for a new 
   theme you need to use an ftp client.

   heh…

 * Thanks again…
