Internet Marketing: Installing Your Theme On Your Wordpress Blog

You want to unzip the theme that you downloaded from the Wordpress theme catalog (sometimes referred to as the them viewer). This folder has to be unzipped. The way to unzip the theme is to right-click the theme folder and choose “extract all”.  Then you have to FTP all the files from your computer to your server.  When you connect to the FTP server of your web site, you will find that there is a folder that says “Wpcontent”. Within that folder, there is a folder called “Themes”. There will already be two themes in there: “Default” and “classic”. Now, just  upload the entire folder that you unipped to this directory. You need to be sure that you upload the entire folder.

When you have finished uploading, go back and log into your blog, and find the “design” or “Appearance” tab and choose themes sub tab. Now just select the theme  that you want and choose to activate the theme. It is that simple. Just go back to the blog, hit “refresh” (or F5) and you will see the theme now on your blog.

Whew!

It is a lot harder than you think it is, at least it reads as more difficult.

Tomorrow, let’s discuss posting to your blog. Have a GREAT day!
