 * I am not sure what version I am running, how do i locate that? I went to the 
   appearance link and found a new theme I wanted to install, it downloaded it but
   I dont know where it downloaded it too. The new theme is not found in my appearance
   link. I have downloaded it several times and it says it is done, but I cannot
   locate. I am using blue voda for my hosting. Not sure if that has anything to
   do with it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 * Bottom right of the footer in your Admin area.

 * How did you download the theme? Via your Admin panel or via a link on a site?

 * i checked and my pop up blocker is not on… i have no idea if the file is saved
   somewhere on my computer but ran a search and cant find it. After you install
   a theme, does it give you a message that it is complete? Mine just has the status
   bar and once it is done it disapears.

 * sometimes it is a problem with file access rules at your server. you need to 
   log in to server throught ftp protocol and check if wp-content/themes (and files
   and folders insdie it) has rights to write and read
