This is all my css has in it:

/*
Theme Name: Ocean Mist
Theme URI:
Description: XHTML 1.1 valid theme with a flexible, elastic grid layout and fully customisable colour scheme.
Version: 2.0
Author: Ed Merritt
Author URI:
Tags: blue, custom header, custom colour scheme, elastic width, two columns, widgets, SEO friendly, accessible, default colour schemes,
*/

Any other suggestions? Should I put it in the header.php? at the end? What do you think?

I’m not sure what the author really means due to newbie status but I’ll start fishing around for information. Can you tell me what “elastic width layout” means exactly? Can I make the 2 columns wider? If so, how might one go about doing that?

Thanks for responding by the way…very helpful

Yea, I did it!!

wow, you’re fast, thanks…ok…so I think I see it in my godaddy file manager…how do I get it onto my site? I still see the old image…

Hello Blue Planet…nice site. I am using Ocean Mist too and am pretty new to the whole thing. Just wondering which Twitter Plug-in you used? It seems to work really well…

Thanks so much Esmi…this is awesome. I’ve managed to work through a few things. Going to take a break and breathe for a bit. Back at it tomorrow…Thanks again

Esmi, thank you for responding. All of my free time has gone into this and now it’s a wreck. The new template is doing things I don’t want and I don’t see how to change it. For example…how do I get rid of the calendar, browse, tag cloud? They are not in the sidebar. I can’t figure out how to customize my header as before. Do I need to know code?? How do I remove the HOME tab at the top?? Seriously, I am only a volunteer for this club, is there a company out there that can fix this for me? I was led to believe that I could move this over as is and that is not the case at all…

Well folks…it’s sort of moved over. I uploaded the theme and it seems to be lacking the widgets that I had at wordpress.com. So now everything is out of whack and I don’t know how to fix it without the widgets. Is there a company out there that actually moves sites and can help me fix this?

You are a good, kind man for sending this along…
regarding step 1, downloading WP: I have already downloaded and unzipped it…is that it? Is there nothing more to do with it on my computer?
