    Help! I’m new to the blog world and not great at this computer stuff, but I’m determined to get this thing up and running. I’ve downloaded a free theme from woothemes, unzipped it to my computer, and have it sitting in the ‘wp-content themes’ directory. However, now I can’t get it to show up in the manage themes section of the dashboard. I’m close to throwing my laptop out the window, so please help before I make this regretful decision.

    AHHH! I followed your video as well as I could(I have Vista), and I still can’t get the theme to show up in the manage themes section of the dashboard. I’m going to grab some food, take a break, many deep breaths, and try again. Any more suggestions? Thanks.
