 * Hi
 * I am having a problem adding themes, I have downloaded a couple to try out, unzipped
   them and put them in my themes folder, when I go to the manage themes section
   the only one showing there is the default one that comes with wordpress, twenty
   ten, have I missed something or is it just the ones I have downloaded aren’t 
   compatable?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated
 * James

   haven’t uploaded anything, I am doing it all locally first, not sure if this 
   helps or not.
