 * I purchased hosting for my website. I opened a wordpress account and selected
   give me a blog I selected bowsandmud and it shows it as my primary blog. I purchased
   hosting for bowsandmud.com and installed the theme to the wp-content, themes 
   folder. WordPress does not recognize it as a theme. I wonder if my domain name
   is not really associated with my wordpress account? How do I do that? Any help
   would be greatly appreciated.

 * Are you at WordPress.COM? The web based community of WP Blogs? or are you self
   hosting? I’m thinking you should post at the WordPress.com forums because of 
   your statement, “I opened a wordpress account and selected give me a blog I selected
   bowsandmud…”

 * I go from my hosting acct and it asks me to login. I only registered on wordpress.
   org on the forum. Any hints as to what I am doing wrong?

 * Well – there is a new blog on bowsandmud.wordpress.COM set up April 20 or so 
   registered, has your same graphic logo as here – there is also a bowsandmud.com
   that was set up about April 20 – add a WordPress.ORG account here also, on April
   21.
