 * Hi somebody – I managed to install wordpress on my new domain via my bluehost
   account – easy. Next step was to upload a premium theme from themeforest – problem.
   I go to install theme and then upload the .zip file from my desktop. problem 
   is here – it tries to connect to my domain and keeps on trying until it times
   out I guess. I tried with a much lighter theme (size wise) but it still just 
   goes on forever. Any Ideas?
 * p.s. I have a good connection and fast line

   their themes

 * If you’ve purchased a commercial Theme, you need to consult the support offerings
   provided by the commercial Theme vendor; we really can’t help with commercial
   Themes.
