 * I am setting up my first blog. I want to use Reddle but I can’t figure out how
   to install it. I went to my Account Settings > Install Themes and searched ‘Reddle’
   by name and by color, but I get no results. If I go back to the original page
   where I saw it, I see a ‘preview’ button, but not an ‘install’ button. Is it 
   still available? If it is, how do I install it?
 * Here is the link to the site: [http://reddledemo.wordpress.com/](http://reddledemo.wordpress.com/)
 * Thank you,
 * lici

 * It’s not a theme that’s available via WordPress.ORG, that’s a WordPress.COM theme.
 * If you are familiar with SVN, you can download a copy via

 * Hi Jan,
    Thank you for your response. I am not familiar with SVN, but is this
   what I should do: – Download all the files erin the link you sent – Create a 
   zip file – Go to my account – install themes – Upload zip file
 * Would this work? If not, what do you recommend?
 * Thank you sooooo much,

 * That would work if you succeeded in getting all the files and directories without
   missing anything.
 * If you did do that, then zip’ing that into a reddle.zip file and uploading it
   via your dashboard should work.
 * If that doesn’t work you could try and see if your host has `ssh` access and `
   svn` installed. If it does it’s just this on the command line:
 *     ```
       cd wordpress/wp-content/themes
       svn co https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/reddle/ reddle-svn
       ```
   
 * And that would be it. You would get a copy the Reddle theme inside `wp-content/
   themes/reddle-svn` directory. I recommend using `-svn` because someday that Reddle
   theme may show up on the WordPress.ORG repo.
 * **Note**: if all that reads like gibberish to you, don’t worry you’re fine. 😉

 * Hi Jan,
    Yeah… a little too much foreign language, but it helps. I’ll call my
   host and ask if they have ssh access and svn installed.
 * Thank you very much. Have a great Sunday.

 * Thanks for all the info! I did it slightly different.
 * You can also download all files (incl. subfolders and the files in the subfolders)
   from [https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/reddle/](https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/reddle/)
   to your PC and then log-in with FTP to your webserver, where you host your website
   and wordpress. (no need to create a zip file first)
 * Then create the folder named reddle on your webserver in:
    `wp-content/themes/`
 * Then upload all files and subfolders into the following folder:
    `wp-content/
   themes/reddle`
 * Then go to themes in wordpress and you will find reddle added as a new theme.
