  I am trying to set up my new wordpress blog and add a theme to it. I follow the instructions exactly as found in the WP help pages. Under ‘appearence’ ‘themes’ ‘manage themes’ but none of the themes that I have added to my sites ‘wp-content/themes’ folders are visible. It also only gives me a choice of 75 themes.

  I know there is nothing wrong with my file structure as I have done tests with the available themes and they work fine.

  Had anyone else had similiar problems with not being able to choose your desired theme from the ‘themes’ admin panel. If so, how did you fix it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  @blogdorf, if this is the blog you are talking about, http://blogdorf.wordpress.com/ , then you have a real problem since everything is completely blank.
