 * Hello, a question from a WordPress newbie. How do you go about editing your themes?
   When I try to edit Kubrick from withing WordPress it says underneath that “I 
   could edit this file if I have writing rights”. How do I get these rights?
 * Thanks

 * It means you need to set the file permissions
 * Look this over [Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
   and see if that answers your question.
