Step 2
Unzip the folder for the theme. Inside it, there will be another folder with the same name. Save this folder to your hard drive in an easy to find location, such as a folder labeled "Wordpress Themes."

Step 3
Open your FTP software and upload this folder to your site's "Themes" folder.

Step 4
Log in to your Wordpress control panel and activate your new theme from the "Design" tab. You should now be able to click the "View Site" button and see your new Wordpress theme in action.
