How to Load an Artisteer Template to Wordpress

The Artisteer template program creates WordPress or Blogger themes.

Artisteer is a customizable Blogger, WordPress and HTML template builder with pre-installed graphics and images. Create your website template and then load it onto WordPress to use it. This only works if you have WordPress uploaded onto your Web hosting account; WordPress blog themes are different. Once you've created your theme, upload it to your Web host and then activate it like you would any other WordPress theme. Refresh your WordPress website to see the new theme.
