 * OK, I downloaded a theme, it’s in a folder on my desktop. Where exactly, & how
   to I put it? I’ve read the instructions for when you have Cpanel, & they make
   no sense to me.
    My WP domain is a subdomain on my host account, so it’s in a
   subfolder. Do I just upload the entire theme folder into my subfolder?

 * The best thing is to get a decent FTP client (like Filezilla, it’s free) and 
   use that.
