    I recommend hosting at DreamHost first off so you can pretty much do a one click install of WP. Always keep backups of any files you plan to modify in case something goes wrong. Did you just install this blog? If so, maybe re-install it and keep backups along the way.

    I just registered here so I can't post links.. send me a private message and I can send some links that might help

    I think that problem can be solved by chmoding the themes foler and all the files under it. . . that will solve it. . .let me know!

    Chmodding can be preformed by right-clicking on folders / files in your ftp client and selecting permissions or chmod and change your settings to 666 or 777 so the server can read them.

    I suppose you are trying to edit your theme files.
    In order to do that, go to your FTP client, navigate to wp-content/themes folder, go to the folder with the theme you are using, select all the php files, right-click, CHMOD (or something like that) and check "writable".
    Must work.
