I feel bad for making Tomas Pike's blog goes blank....

WordPress is extremely fragile, so when we are changing theme using cyberduck, we must be careful not to drop it!!
I want to post this tutorial so people would be able to SAFELY PIMP UP THEIR BLOG!!

Warnings before we proceed!!

• Don't put random files into cyberduck other than the destination i will mention
• Preview each theme before you activate them. Make sure it is not blank!

Let's pimp it up!!

1. find a theme you like on wordpress.org (two-column and fixed-width themes are more likely to work)
2. After you got the theme you want. Open cyberduck → press open connection and type the address below and CONNECT!
3. Now, go to "public_html" → "blog2" → "wp-content" → "theme"
4. Put your theme folder into the theme page!
5. GO BACK to your wordpress blog's appearance page
6. click on "Preview" not "Activate" !!!
7. If it's blank, delete the theme on cyberduck and find another one, if it works.... PRESS ACTIVATE and YOU ARE WELCOME!

Hopefully, there will be no more casualty after reading this tutorial!!!

Fingers cross
