How do I get a template onto my site????

So I find a template I like and I download it - then I click on it to open and all that I have tried opens using zip which when it opens turns into several different files such as images welcome text etc etc.
I know how to use FTP &
I use frontpage to do my sites work

Where do I go from here? Do I FTP each file that opened with the zip?

I have tried many different steps and none are working.

Please give me step by step directions

 

Ira is that a static html site or a wordpress site?

 

Create a root folder for your site, put all tempelete files etc in it, do not mess up the arrangement of file, edit them the way you like, upload the files to your FTP directory, i recon u use smart ftp, its free for 30 days, it should get you going.

 

sam - static

do - create a root folder ( on my computer or in my site ? ) sorry I am not understanding

 

Just upload all the files in the root folder triple www.

 

Also don't forget to name the main html page as index.html.For ftp i like to use filezilla,i like it a little better than cuteftp.

 

Got it now ! Thanks everyone
