On the Menu
1. Blog theme
Go to freeblogthemes.com click on “Most Downloaded” choose a theme. I chose HeyLucy and downloaded it to a folder on my site at donalddriscoll.com. I created a folder for my blog, uploaded the wordpress blog into it and clicked on wp-content folder within the blog folder and created another folder called themes into which I uploaded the HeyLucy theme folder. This is the path to the theme folder www.donalddriscoll.com/blog/wp-content/themes/heylucy
I could have used SmartFTP to upload, but chose to use AceFTP3 which is another free FTP client
You now need to go to your blog/wp-admin ie www.donalddriscoll.com/blog/wp-admin, enter your password and username. Click on Presentation then click on the HeyLucy theme image and you have changed over from your previous Wordpress theme to the HeyLucy theme.
