You won’t do this from WordPress, but from the control panel of your hosting account.

So, you’ll want to log into your control panel, select the File Manager, then navigate to the themes folder in your WP installation. There should be a button to create a new folder at the top of your File Navigator. Once you’re in the theme folder, just follow the directions you linked to.

I’ll take a stab at a few of these:
1: I’d check your raw access logs and AWStats to see what IP addresses are accessing your site, the block those individually.
2:What cron jobs are you running?
3: Unattached only means it’s not inserted into a post or page, not that it’s not being used. But, this shouldn’t impact your CPU/RAM usage, only your webhosting size. One option, though, would be to offload those images to AmazonS3, there are a number of plugins that will do that for you.
4:Not an expert on this, but if you’re in a shared hosting environment, GoDaddy should handle the upgrade, not you…?Maybe I’m wrong there.

Good luck,
Eric

Hey Richard,

Thesis disables the editor feature in WordPress, you do the editing through the hooks and CSS in the Thesis framework.

I’d recommend a free plugin called Thesis OpenHook. It allows you to do all your editing from the WP backend, no need to open the .css from your Cpanel.

You can always install Thesis on a test blog to get the styling worked out.

Hope that helps.
