 * I changed the folder name where I have the theme that I made for a blog and it
   doesn’t seem to affect the blog at all, but in the admin area of wordpress ‘themes’,
   at the top where the theme is introduced, it still says “All of this theme’s 
   files are located in /themes/tutorial.” instead of “/themes/DextersBlog” . How
   do I change that?

 * It’s not a good idea to change a theme folder’s name when the them is active.
   Try switching to another theme temporarily, refresh the theme list page and then
   switch back to your old theme and see if that helps.
