In case anyone else comes across this thread, I'd like to add a few minor details on theme installation.
1. Download and unzip the theme you wish to use. (It should be in a top level folder -- i.e. /my-theme/ and not /my-theme/my-theme/)
2. Upload the entire theme folder (i.e. /my-theme/) to your /public_html/blog-directory*/wp-content/themes/ folder.
*/blog-directory/ is where you have your WP files installed. It may be installed directly in your public_html or www folder.
3. Assuming that the theme is constructed properly, you should them be able to log into your WP admin panel, click on Presentation and see the theme listed as an option.
Using an FTP program, such as , will certainly make this process much easier than trying to create folders/upload files directly through the cPanel interface.
The reason I added the bit of information is because others who come across this thread may be confused on the actual process of installing and activating a theme.
