 * Unsure what you mean. Are you talking about creating a theme and installing it
   on another site?

 * Thank you for your responce
 * OK Theme is done and it is running on the site…
 * I add s subdomain to this site to run blogs and i have all the blogs there, the
   main site and subdomain should be looking same but I don really want to recreate
   theme on that subdomain so I can backup and restore main site but I might loose
   all the blogs on it so was looking for solution on how transfer fully designed
   theme only and no data.
 * I hope it is answer your question

 * I still don’t quite get it, especially what this has to do with subdomains. Apparently
   you have 2 websites that should look identical. You have the theme ready on one
   of them and now you want to use it on the 2nd website as well – do I see that
   right?
 * If yes, then you have to install the theme in the 2nd website as well. You don’t
   need to do any export or migration. Just pack the theme as a ZIP and upload it
   there and activate it.
 * But maybe I’m wrong with my assumption?

 * No you are mostly correct.
 * Generic theme is on second site but it need same header and footer setup as well
   as a page. So I thought if I can be able export theme from main site with all
   the changes, it would save me time…
 * Idea was that main site will have link to blog directory that is located on a
   subdomain where i keep our blogs
