 * Have a look here and see if that makes sense: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes#Using_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes#Using_Themes)
 * Basically, you unzip it and lob the theme folder into your wp-content/themes/
   directory.

 * I tried getting that FTP thing, but got completely lost. I downloaded filezilla
   and set up an account on my host, but have no idea how to connect the 2.

 * Your host should be able to help you connect ftp to your web space.
 * Look around their support area… You’ll need to know what address to use and a
   username and password.
 * We can’t help you with that part. 🙂

 * Hey anybody, I can’t find the wp-content/themes/ directory on my server (yahoo).
   I signed up for WordPress through Yahoo so I assume WordPress is using my Yahoo
   space but I can’t find that folder anywhere in my files. Am I looking in the 
   right place?
