 * Hi,
 * I’ve just started a blog using WordPress…I see that they posted a default theme
   that I would like to change.
 * I’ve already downloaded version 2.7 onto my desktop and found a new theme that
   I like “Ahimsa”. It says for me to upload the theme into wp-content/themes. This
   is where I’m confused. Do I upload it into the content/themes folder I’ve got
   downloaded on my desktop and then open my blog to move it from there into my 
   blog area or is there a differnt way to do this? Is it nessisary for me to do
   everything off line first and then upload it all or can I do everything on-line?
 * Any help would be greatly appriciated.
