 * Thank you so much!! Phew! But where do I change this from? I’ve just looked through
   my Dashboard and I can’t find where to change it in the General Settings or anywhere
   else :s

 * Hmm- that’s strange- I don’t seem to have the Install tab- is there any way I
   can get it?

 * Oh an update!! 😀
 * Lol!
 * I managed to get the file to wp-content now (in the left sidebar)- I found it
   and just dragged the zipped folder in…
 * But now when I try to extract it- I just get loads of little messages saying 
   error and denied :s
 * 🙁

 * Thank you so much for the quick reply! 🙂
 * I used Move to move the zipped file and entered wp-content/themes to move it 
   there- but the problem is when I search for the directory to go and extract it-
   it says that there are no files in the directory :s
 * It seems so straighfwd- I don’t know what’s going wrong here?
 * Any insights? 🙁
 * Thank you!! :))

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for the quick reply! 🙂
 * I’ve tried that as well- but I tried it again just now and I’m still encountering
   a couple of problems.
 * At the top of the page it asks ‘where would you like WordPress installed’ and
   gives what I’m assuming is a temp directory with some numbers preceding it- but
   in the box beside this I just entered my domain name: saharmedfa.com
 * But after hitting Complete, I get two warnings, one red and one yellow:
 * The red one reads: Oops! Directory exists! Are you sure you want to overwrite
   its contents.
    And the yellow one reads: Oops! Your domain is not currently pointing
   to your host, so we will use your temporary domain.
 * What’s going on? Lol 🙂
