# Uploading Template using Bluehost

 * I have added another blog to my bluehost account. I have 2 blogs and I’m trying
   to upload a new wordpress template for my second blog. I have been searching 
   for a document that guides me step by step but seem to keep on striking out. 
   How do I upload the new template and get it to show in my presentation tab without
   messing up my first blog? How do I upload and where do I place the upload. I 
   thought I figured it out but I just can’t get it to work.
 * I am not to tech savvy so anything in Laymen terms would be much appreciated.
   
   Thanks in Advance!!!

 * hey, ive just switched to bluehost so im doing all this at the moment.
 * when you added your new domain, i assume you made it an add-on? so yournewdomain.
   com was actually what was at example.olddomain.com?
 * if this is the case, under public_html there should be a folder equivalent to
   example in the domain. within this folder should be wp-admin, wp-content wp-includes
   and some files. under wp-content are your themes.
 * so the path should be this
 * public_html>example>wp-content>themes>new theme
 * ive used should because that is how it all works on my account, so im assuming
   it’ll be the same.
 * hope you find it
 * edit — oh, and you need to be using an ftp client to do all this

 * You are right on with the domain. I just tried this path and I’m not seeing a
   folder for new theme. Do I create a folder or download into the themes?
 * I tried just uploading into the themes folder but it still didn’t show.

 * in the path i wrote with the >s example and new theme were just examples of folders
   that you might have. so example would be the name of your new site without the.
   com.
 * New theme was just in place of the theme you want to upload.
    so you should be
   uploading the theme to the themes directory. this SHOULD then appear on the presentation
   screen.
 * are you sure you are uploading to the right domain, that is, not to just public_html
   >wp-content>themes?

 * and may seem obvious, but are you logging in to the right admin panel?

 * They told me to log into the same admin panel. I will try it again.

 * you’ll be using the same admin panel on bluehost.com, but if it is a different
   wordpress blog, it’ll have a different admin panel specific to the new blog.
 * if you used fantastico to set it up, you’ll need to use the password and username
   you chose at that point

 * Epicalex,
    You have been a huge help, I figured it out. For those who have the
   same problem revert back to this post. Also remember to hit the extract button
   once you click on the file!!!
