 * Helllo, I am new to wordpress an publishing sites and I am in a bit of a mess
 * I bought hosting in 1&1 and got a wordpress template in theme forest. I am almost
   finishied installing the wordpress 3.2.2 files in 1&1 following a tutorial. I
   use a Mac
 * the themeforest template instructions says I have to install the templte in an
   editor which seems wordpress.com, now I read I can´t install and custom outside
   templates in the wordpress.com editor.
 * What do I have to do? I have the .com domain in 1&1 as well, how can I customize
   the template?

 * I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from
   the theme’s vendors.

 * All you need to do is by either using FTP or through your hosting control panel,
   navigate to wp-content/themes and drag the theme folder from Themeforest into
   it.
 * Normally if you buy a theme from themeforest, it usually has instructions in 
   the zip file so be sure to check.

 * You edit the theme from inside WordPress – you’ll most likely have theme options
   to control certain things, but you can then go to ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Editor’ and
   edit the rest of the files from there.
