 * Make sure the theme decompressed correctly. It should not be in a zipped folder
   or have any nested directories.

 * If you upload the theme using your ftp client or the file manager in your hosts
   control panel, then first you must un-zip the theme to your desktop, then you
   just upload the entire _un-zipped_ theme directory to /wp-content/themes/. That
   should do it.
