    Are you actually logged in to your new site and not the WordPress.COM site? Are you an administrator? What’s the site URL?

    Yeah definitely on new site as I have to install theme rather than just activate when browsing themes. It’s http://www.funkydaddy.net
    Many thanks..

    Oh my, you are BUSY these days! LOL!

    So under Appearance > Themes – if you rollover a theme image, the activate button should become visible. Does that not happen?

    Okay, cool :)!

    Before you modify any theme files (if you do so), make a child theme!! That way your changes won’t be lost when the theme is updated.
