Hi,

I recently registered with wordpress and set up a blog. But I want to change themes, and have already downloaded another theme. How do I upload it onto my server?

And a noob question: what exactly do you write in blogs?

...Seriously

Gig,

Regarding your question about uploading themes... is your blog hosted at wordpress (i.e. your domain is yourblog.wordpress.com) or your own host?

If it's hosted at Wordpress:

1. Simply Login at Wordpress.com

2. Click on "Presentation" then on "Themes"

If your blog is hosted on your own host, check this out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes
and let me know if you have any questions.

So what exactly do I write on a blog?

Well, think about how to use a blog to complement your website...

Will your blog be a place where you post the latest updates about Halo? or updates about your website? Will it dedicated for a specific topic that fits with your website, like game cheats, tips, tricks, etc?

I know this doesn't help, but it really is up to you. Think of a blog entry as a short article... or it can be long too

Hope that helps.
