Please do not continue SHOUTING! at those who are here to help. Disable your cap locks key because typing in all capitals makes it hard to read the text, and it’s also considered to be a very rude behavior in cyberspace.

Every theme here has a detailed theme description page and a live demo site. The former provides step by step instructions for setup.

Sorry about the shouting! : ) Thank you for the instructions link. The way those directions are worded seems somewhat cloudy (for a newbie), but hopefully once I get “hands on” and try each step it will make sense.

What I find it that new bloggers fail to create any posts and pages first and then go nuts because they are fiddling with theme settings.
Themes are just skins. Don’t waste time fiddling with theme set up first. Instead create some test posts and pages and publish them first so you have some content to work with. You can delete those later and/or replace them with others.
