Adding new themes besides the ones WPD offers

[ccastell88]

Hey can we add other wordpress themes besides the one wordpress direct offers? Is there a manual/guide showing you how to do this?
Also could particular themes affect WPD in anyway, or are there things to look for when using a wordpress theme outside WPD?

As long as your theme is widget ready it will work.
Download the theme to your computer.
Right-click the zipped file and unzip it using a tool such as 7-zip or Winzip.
Open your FTP program (such as Filezilla), connect to your web host, and upload the entire theme folder to wp-content/themes.
Log in to your blog's admin panel and go to Manage > Themes. The theme you uploaded should appear there.
Select the theme. Now check out how it looks on your site.
After selecting a new theme, you may need to configure the sidebar, page navigation, and header. Always make sure it looks good in both Firefox and IE. If you have a question about a theme, try visiting the author's site first. If that doesn't work, go to the theme section of the WordPress forum.

Personally I don't think I'd bother as the internal settings
for the WordPress Direct Theme may not carry across.

I might be wrong, but I think I would only change the
graphics and the stylesheet because you might be
shooting yourself in the foot.
