    That was the first thing I did.

    I found a theme I liked. It clicked on test to make it full screen. The only way I can download it is to quit out of themes, then search the name of the theme, then download. Is there an easier way?

    If I click Test run for a theme at the WordPress Theme Viewer, it opens the theme in a new browser tab, but leaves the original tab (where I clicked Test Run) sitting there ready to click on the Download link.

    So I just uploaded the contents of the theme folder to the themes folder on my directory. Now what? When I view my site, the same old default theme is there. WP says the theme is supposed to automatically change.

    My uploaded theme is not listed in available theme.

    I’ve read the directions, as much as I’m able to understand jargon that is written for people who already know what to do. I think if I just had some help uploading the theme folder to the directory, I’d be OK.

    BlueHost lets me select the theme folder, found here:

    home/public/wp-content/themes

    Inane question #1: BlueHost has two public folders. One is ftp public, the other is html public. I went with html public. Is that correct?

    I should have written BH lets me select the WP theme folder, and place it in the directory theme folder.

    So I don’t need an FTP app to upload the WP theme folder to the BH theme folder.
