 * Hi, everytime I try to upload a theme, it gives me an error message of
 * Only zip files are supported. We’ve had reports that Firefox will sometimes report
   zip files as generic binary files (which we don’t allow). Try uploading your 
   zip file with Safari or Opera.
 * I am sure that I have it in zip and eveything seems like correctly.
 * Any idea what happened?

 * Is it in a zip file and have you checked with the Theme Unit Test and the Theme
   Check plugin?

 * Hi
    You could just open the zip local and then FTP into the themes folder. It
   will then appear as installed
