How to upload a theme to Wordpress


How to change Wordpress theme, if you have a free account at Wordpress.com you just have to login to your Wordpress blog and select Appearance and then click on the Themes link. This will bring up the standard Worpdress themes available. Click on the theme you like and select Activate. Then this will become your new Wordpress theme.
If you have your own domain name and host then you will need to go to your ftp client or login to an ftp client like the one that Godaddy provides and upload a new theme. Download a theme first and once you've done that save it to a folder you can easily find. Then once inside the ftp client upload the new theme folder to:
yourblogname.com/wp-content/themes
Then login to your blog admin area youblogname.com/wp-admin and then click on Appearance and then Themes. Just as Wordpress.com you will see a preview of the theme once you click on it. You must click 'Activate the theme name' to make that your new Wordpress theme. To setup a new Wordpress blog application on Godaddy check out my other how to called how to start a Wordpress blog.

How to Connect a CMS to a Website


Determine where the CMS will be connected on your website. If you have an existing website with content, you may want to connect the CMS to a URL other than the homepage of your website. On the other hand, if your website is new, you may want the CMS connected to the homepage.
Log in to your website hosting service. Activate the hosting control panel and navigate to the application installation section of the control panel.
Install a CMS. From the application installation section, select the CMS you'd like to install. Follow your website hosting service's instructions for installing and configuring the CMS. The website hosting service will likely create a database for your CMS to use and then install the CMS software. Write down any login or administrator information for the database and CMS that you enter during the installation process.
Add a test page or post. Access the administrator login page for your CMS. Add and publish a test page or post according to the instructions for your CMS. If you can't access the administrator page, you may need to reinstall the CMS.
Verify the CMS operation. Log out of the CMS administrator section. Visit your website as a visitor would and navigate to the location where the CMS is connected. Make sure your test page or post appears correctly and that the CMS is working. Make any necessary changes.
