Hey I am trying to add a custom theme to my website,

Have  log in details for ftp etc all well and good logs in fine via ftp clinet but does not show any files?

anyone any suggestions?

the FTP is empty by default.

the theme system works on "replaceability" which you can read about at the following link:

http://www.boku.co.uk/book/view/120

it looks like you're currently using the 3column theme,

so for instance to change your header and things - make a folder on the FTP named "3column" and then place a new image called "top.png".

the theme will then use this file instead of the default 3column header.

ah it all makes sense now, thanks :)
