 * I have uploaded the zip file of a theme I want to install into the themes default
   folder of my hosting account which is Go Daddy, but cannot now open this zip 
   file.I previously opened the zip file in my downloads folder, but when I tried
   to upload each file, Go Daddy tells me they already exist in the default theme(
   Kubrick) for example 404.php
    Solution?
 * Thanks

   article.

 * I am having the same problem. I checked the section Themes and unfortunately 
   it doesnt solve my problem.
 * When I upload the file to the GoDaddy server via ftp, I see it in the wp-content,
   theme folder, but the look doesnt change when I refresh. Thesis is the theme 
   that I chose but I am a little frustrated at this point. I know there is a learning
   curve and I am willing to take the time to learn but I have been at this point
   for two days…and its frustrating.
 * Can someone either walk me thru or tell me where I can go to pay someone to set
   this up for me. Thanks,

 * well, i’m back…i managed to figure out my problem and solved it, whew…the learning
   curve for a newbie is vicious! But i am determined to hang in there. Now that
   i have my theme in place, is there somewhere i can go for a tutorial for (1)creating
   a navigation bar (2) a home page that is “static” (I think that’s what you call
   it…i want my visitors to see this page all the time when they first click onto
   the blog)…am i getting the “lingo” guys? 😉 (3) create a list of my blogs that
   are links to the actual blog information. i know you experts out there may not
   have time for us “new-jacks”, but, golly give a guy/gal a break!! (said with 
   the best intentions)!

 * solved my own problems and figured out how to create nav bar and static page…
   gettin’ good, if I say so myself…it’s not bad, if you stay with it…things seem
   to fall in place. Now I will take a look at my post in Changing Backgrounds…see
   ya’ll.
