 * I have my blog on wordpress by going through cpanel and fantastico. I have been
   trying to change my theme but all of the instructions I have found does not work.
   I have the theme I want downloaded on my computer. But when I try to upload it
   through my FTP is where I get lost. Where is this /wp-content/themes/ located
   at on the right side of my FTP? I do not see any wp-content in the main directory?
   does anyone have good directions as how I am to upload a theme through cpanal
   and fantasitico all the way to implamenting it onto my blog?

 * You should see the wp-content folder in the root of your web server. Then you
   need to upload the theme you have download into the themes folder which is inside
   wp-content.

 * Sorry if I’m asking the obvious, but you did unzip the theme before you uploaded
   it ?
