    Upload the new theme into the theme folder that resides in wp-content folder (I think). Go into the control panel of Word Press and under the Presentation option select the theme you want to use.

    *edit*

    Actually a good guide with screen shots can be seen here.

    Use either the file manager in your host gator account or use FTP access. You'd be better using FTP access as its faster.

    Did host gator give you FTP details when you setup the account?

    And, no probs. ;)

    You'll find the file manager option in CPanel.

    To use FTP you are best installing a client on your desktop PC. I highly recommend on using FileZilla - free, easy to use and very reliable.

    Fair play to you for tackling it, we all have to start somewhere. ;)

    haven't figured it out yet. I will in time. Im sure it is easier with ftp as i had to load each part of the file. I got filezilla. I got it up but have not quite figured to use it. It was the anaconda theme and now im trying to figure out how to login. I was able to figure out the login from the original theme that comes with wordpress and it had a button to click for login. Now is there anyway else to login to wordpress dashboard.
    Im pming you the site.

    Again thanks in advance my friend

    FileZilla has a lot of options but for the most part you'll not need them.

    I've sent you the URL you need to login.
