Okay I need major help. I used to have various blogs on various sites and today I have signed up and payed for my own domain, the only trouble is that I can’t work the template. I downloaded a template directly from wordpress and tried to edit the CSS. I know how to put the code and change HTML but it still doesn’t show the full theme and ruins the one I had picked before even when I start from scratch. Am I editing the wrong thing? Please help!!

It is difficult to answer your question without knowing exactly what changes you made to which files.

To recover, you may upload a fresh copy of the theme, then from within the Dashboard under Design > Theme Editor make a small change to the theme you have selected, then save it and examine the result by viewing your blog. Keep making small changes until you get the effect you want. If things blow up, just redo the last change.

Being off one character can cause problems, so be patient and methodical.

Good luck!

I’m a graphic designer and though there are tons (!) of free wordpress themes, I cannot find the one that suits my specific needs. How much would it cost me to hire a professional wp coder/CSS guru/wordpress theme developer? I’d deliver the homepage and subpages (up to 4) as a photoshop template, along with instructions, how it should work.

I use to hire them once and charge me about 100$. If you ever want to make it your own and want to promote it. You can submit your theme at http://www.wpthemecenter.com
