 * Take a deep breath and install the Thematic theme.
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/thematic](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/thematic)
 * Do not switch to that theme, just install it on your blog. Autofocus+ is a _[child](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)_
   theme of Thematic. That means in order for your theme to work the parent theme(
   Thematic) needs to be installed.

 * Ho, that’s interesting.
 * Have you tried going via [http://your-blog-url/wp-login.php](http://your-blog-url/wp-login.php)?
 * If you are really stuck, then download the zip file onto your PC.
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/thematic.0.9.7.7.zip](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/thematic.0.9.7.7.zip)
 * Extract the zip file somewhere. Now using FTP (or however you access your blog’s
   file system) copy that thematic folder to your wp-content/themes folder. Make
   sure the directory structure is intact.
 * If the thematic folder gets successfully transferred, then Autofocus+ should 
   start working.

 * > can explain me how to access with an FTP to my blog’s file system?
 * Um, not too well, insecure protocols like FTP are anathema to me. It’s an industry
   thing. I suggested FTP because so many hosts offer that as a way to get files
   onto your server or VPS.
 * Your Bluehost Apache webserver is (probably) running on a Linux server. Can you
   ssh to your box and try running these commands? If you can’t ssh to it, these
   commands should work if you get a console.
 *     ```
       cd /home7/tomsophy/public_html/wp-content/themes
       wget http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/thematic.0.9.7.7.zip
       unzip -a thematic.0.9.7.7.zip
       ```
   
 * If wget tosses a command not found then replace the wget line with
 *     ```
       curl -o thematic.0.9.7.7.zip http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/thematic.0.9.7.7.zip
       ```
   
 * This will download and extract the theme that you need on your web server.
 * If that doesn’t work, contact your Bluehost provider and show them these instructions.
   It’s on box723.bluehost.com.
 * **Edit**: If you do get your provider to do it, make sure they set the downloaded
   and extracted files to the correct ownership and permissions like the rest of
   your WordPress installation.
