    Hello,

    With someone else's help I got a website up and running but would like to change to a new theme that just came out called Floralia. First of all I do not have great computer knowledge. I would like to attempt to do this myself, but have no idea what I am doing. Is is a problem to change my site that only has one sidebar to a site with two sidebars?

    I read the adding new themes instructions and see that it says to follow any instructions that come with the theme itself. Where do I find those instructions. So far I have the zipped up folder for the theme sitting on my desktop. Inside it I don't see anything titled instructions. Next I assume I download the program called Filezilla that I being mentioned. Will Filezilla give me instructions to follow once I download it?

    Thank you

    1. Download and install FileZilla.

    2. Connect to your web space from FileZilla.

    3. Expand the contents of the theme's .zip file.

    4. Upload this folder to wp-content/themes directory

    5. Visit http://www.yourblog.com/wp-admin/themes.php and click on the theme name/image you want to switch to.
