 * Hi,
 * I’m rookie in WordPress and especially in designing a theme. I went through some
   tutorials and I have even done a really simple theme. Today, I’ve tried to design
   something more ‘complicated’ and I found some html templates at freecsstemplates.
   Now I’m stuck because I have done everything correctly (not really if it’s not
   working..) and the theme doesn’t show up in Appearance -> Themes (it does show
   description and gives opportunity to active/preview theme but when you do that,
   it goes blank, without any html).
 * I assume that there may be some mistakes in the code but I just can’t find anything.
 * I have also checked google and found some similar problems but that’s not solution
   for me.

 * I can send .zip with template if needed.
