 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to upload a new theme, Natural Essence, onto my WordPress Dashboard.
   I have created a new folder, wp-content/natural-essence in my FTP Client, Cyberduck.
 * I drag-and-dropped the theme folder that I downloaded into the /natural-essence
   folder in TFP Client. This created a subfolder, /natural-essence-template/, which
   contains a subfolder called “img”, several .html files, a .txt file, and a stylesheet.
 * In the Design section of my Dashboard, the theme is shown as broken with the 
   following comments: stylesheet is missing, template is missing.
 * I notice that the Natural Essence theme doesn’t appear to have any .php files.
   Is this the problem?

 * Wrong!
    Every theme should be in its own folder like this: wp-content/themes/
   natural-essence/
 * And if a theme doesn’t have any .php files… it is NOT a theme.

 * Ah, thanks. I did write the folder name incorrectly. From your response, I think
   that the theme is to blame. I will look for another.
