  Just trying to get off the ground… my website http://artificialgrass.green/ does not look anything like the “WEN-Business” theme that I installed and activated. It looks pretty basic. what simple thing am I doing wrong? AS you can see I have uploaded a background images and modified a few areas, but it doesnt look anything like the theme I picked out.

  Some themes take a little extra care and attention to get setup to look like the demo. It really depends a lot on how the theme was built. The first best advice is to review the theme documentation directly and pay close attention to any tips it gives.

  In the case of http://artificialgrass.green/ I see that you are using a WordPress.org setup and are using this free theme:
  http://wenthemes.com/item/wordpress-themes/wen-business/

  That theme is not one that is available here at WordPress.com, so you will want to check in with the theme author directly about getting set up.

  It looks to me like you might want to start by setting up the slider instead of a background image. Try starting here:

  If the help page doesn’t get you to a good place, try checking in with the theme authors directly next or you can also ask in the WordPress.org forums at http://wordpress.org/support/
