I downloaded the theme I want, how do I put it on my site?

Oldiesmann

Admin -> Theme and Layout Settings
In the "Install a new theme" box, click "Browse..." and browse to the file you downloaded. Double-click it, then click on "Install!". You should get a javascript alert saying "Install a new theme?". Click "OK".

If everything went properly, you will see a screen saying "{Theme Name} installed successfully". Clicking on the theme's name there will take you to the screen where you can configure the theme options for that theme.

If that doesn't work:

Open up the archive using WinZIP or another archive program, and extract all the files to your computer.
Next, using FTP, create a new directory in your Themes folder on your server for this theme, and copy all the files and directories that you extracted from your computer to this folder.
Finally, go to Admin -> Theme and Layout Settings, and enter the directory's name at the end of the path in the "From a directory" box.
