 * I go in to Theme Editor and I get this error:
 * “Browsing
    ‘mat’ theme files
 * Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.”
 * I choose different themes but it still doesn’t work. It just keeps doing that
   with all themes.

 * Did you use the EXACT URL for the theme information?
 * `http://example.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/style.css`
 * If this fails, then edit it on your hard drive (your computer) with a Text Editor(
   not word processor) like Notepad and then upload it with an FTP program.

 * Hm, I renamed my folders so it corresponded with what it was named? (spaces/capital
   letters) but no luck.
 * I’d prefer it to be writable by the browser though. Hm.

 * Ahh, I think I have my problem.
    On my actual site I have “themes” and the cookie
   name is “theme” I think, and I think it’s grabbing my actual themes for 1.5. (
   cookies?)
 * Is there a way I could rename “theme” via 1.5 or would it be simpler to do it
   on my actual theme script?
