   directory but default themes are showing up from /wp-content/themes/default/images/

 * There is if you have a functioning WordPress installation. Are you using an FTP
   client, or a control panel/file manager provided by your host?
 * ..and can you give a link to your site if possible…

 * ya, I installed from SimpleScript, the site is live now n fully functional but
   can’t upload any themes, as no directory is found on my ftp or cpanel file manager.

 * Yes. You already stated that.
 * As I said, the directory is there. It is either at;
 * //www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/
 * or, if you installed to a sub-directory, include that in the file path.
 * //www.yourdomain.com/sub-directory-name/wp-content/themes/
 * And once again… if you can give a link to your site, maybe then someone else 
   can take a look at the _EXACT_ path, and tell you where the directory is located.

 * I know about the site directory, its on this format:
    [http://blog.domain.com/](http://blog.domain.com/)
   this is the main directory for WP, but there’s no directory called [http://blog.domain.com/wp-content/themes/](http://blog.domain.com/wp-content/themes/)
   How is everything on default theme working if there’s no directory named wp-content/
   themes, do I need to create one myself on the server or what? getting confused

 * On the server, look for a folder called..
 * `public_html`
    or `www`
 * Take a look in there… 😉
