# Problem uploading theme

 * I am currently using the WordPress Classic 1.5 theme and have tried downloading
   a new theme to use on my site. I have downloaded two themes, into my wp-content/
   themes directory, on my local machine and am still not seeing them as available
   to use. I can see the zip files in the directory but they are not showing as 
   available.
    My blog is done through my coresight which is hosted through Network
   Solutions. I am relatively new to this and wondering where I am going wrong.
 * Thank you.

 * You have to upload them to the server that’s hosting your blog, Network Solution
   or whatever that is, just by downloading them to your computer doesn’t do it (
   unless your blog is on your home-server). Remember to unzip/uncompress the files
   before uploading.

 * Can you direct me towards a link that will walk me through uploading the files
   to Network Solutions? I have viewed a ton of “help” pages, FAQ links, etc., and
   this process is not clear..and perhaps I have not found the correct instructions….
 * Thank you.
