 * I have downloaded a theme. How do I get that somewhere so that I can edit it 
   and begin using it? Do I just unzip it and upload it to my server? If so, in 
   a new directory? I am a nubee (DUH!)

 * I just found out how to do this today. (newbie I am)
 * Download the theme to a specific folder >Got to your WP-Admin page >Themes (left
   screen) once on this Theme page click on Add New (top page) >Click UpLoad (look
   in that specific folder you stored your Theme in.
 * And WP will do the rest…
