   I am setting up my first blog. I want to use Reddle but I can't figure out how to install it. I went to my Account Settings > Install Themes and searched 'Reddle' by name and by color, but I get no results. If I go back to the original page where I saw it, I see a 'preview' button, but not an 'install' button. Is it still available? If it is, how do I install it?

   Here is the link to the site: http://reddledemo.wordpress.com/

   Thank you,

   lici

   It's not a theme that's available via WordPress.ORG, that's a WordPress.COM theme.

   If you are familiar with SVN, you can download a copy via

   https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/reddle/

   Hi Jan,
   Thank you for your response. I am not familiar with SVN, but is this what I should do:
   - Download all the files erin the link you sent
   - Create a zip file
   - Go to my account - install themes
   - Upload zip file

   Would this work? If not, what do you recommend?

   Thank you sooooo much,

   lici

   That would work if you succeeded in getting all the files and directories without missing anything.

   If you did do that, then zip'ing that into a reddle.zip file and uploading it via your dashboard should work.

   If that doesn't work you could try and see if your host has ssh access and svn installed. If it does it's just this on the command line:

   cd wordpress/wp-content/themes
   svn co https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/reddle/ reddle-svn

   And that would be it. You would get a copy the Reddle theme inside wp-content/themes/reddle-svn directory. I recommend using -svn because someday that Reddle theme may show up on the WordPress.ORG repo.

   Note: if all that reads like gibberish to you, don't worry you're fine. ;)

   Hi Jan,
   Yeah... a little too much foreign language, but it helps. I'll call my host and ask if they have ssh access and svn installed.

   Thank you very much. Have a great Sunday.
