 * Sorry for this newbie question, but I’ve just downloaded FrontEnd Editor and 
   have got no idea where to go from here. I thought it was doing to be a plug-in
   to WordPress (in which I’m also a newbie), but it seems to be a desktop app. 
   I unzipped it, but have no idea how to actually install it. Help!

 * It’s not a desktop app; it’s a regular plugin. See the Codex:

 * Ah, sorry. Stupid question. I’ve installed and activated it now, but can’t see
   any difference. Where do I find the editing controls? Actually, I was looking
   for a WYSIWYG theme editor, since my coding skills are only a little bit greater
   than none at all. Do you know of a good WYSIWYG solution for us numnutz?

 * I don’t think you’ll find any stand-alone WYSIWYG theme editor.
 * Instead, there are several commercial themes that have built-in wysiwyg editing
   of their layout and styles, such as Headway and Pagelines.

 * Yeah: I’ve already uploaded a theme, but I wasn’t expecting to have to know HTML
   in order to load images into the theme and change the text…
