 * The theme seems to work fine under localhost – the problem occurs when I upload
   it to the host site. I’ve already reuploaded it 3 times and still get the same
   problem. I thought about changing it in the appearance settings but I wasn’t 
   sure that would change it when I then uploaded it to my host site.
 * Perhaps I’m uploading it wrong? (total newbie sorry). I assumed that by uploading
   all the files (php, css, db) and images I have to the host site, it would (theoretically)
   be the same as how it appears in localhost?? All the files are in root of the
   host site, they don’t need a special file name etc. to work for this host.
 * Hope that sheds some light. Thanks for replying Samboll.

 * Hey,
 * perhaps you could shed some light on this too?
    Please don’t think I haven’t 
   tried to fix this by searching for hours through google… writing on here is a
   last resort… my brain is fuzz :S.
 * I already have all the php files I need for my blog (thanks to following a wonderful
   tutorial) and the basics for my css file.
    Prior to today, all the editing I 
   made to the css file resulted in the appropriate changes in my blog. Now nothing
   happens. Any idea why that could be?
 * Also, the only address I have for my blog is [http://localhost/wordpress/](http://localhost/wordpress/).
   How do I share my blog with others? Is there where the FTP program comes in? 
   Do I not have a filehost like I think I have?
 * yes I do realise I lack _a lot_ of knowledge in this area – all I wanted to do
   was design a nice **original** blog :P. Sadly none of it’s obvious to me yet 
   because I don’t know what everything does.

 * You’re right, I didn’t read _all_ the documentation. I have followed your advice
   and I’m currently reading through the rest of it.
 * I realise now why I became so confused. I found that “self install wordpress”
   tutorial page through a “design your own wordpress theme” tutorial page… the 
   theme design page says to download an ftp program.
 * Good to know I can just completely forget about fileZilla. I appreciate your 
   help. Please remember that nobody is born knowing everything and newbies are 
   prone to becoming confused with the quantity of information they have to learn.
 * Cheers again.
