Install WordPress Themes Automatically

New in WordPress 2.8 – you can now search, review and install WordPress themes automatically.

First, select your search criteria. You can find themes by your favourite color, number of columns, and other criteria.

You can then preview the theme first. If you like how it really looks, you can easily install the theme to your WordPress blog.

Then just enter your FTP details (not your blog details) and the theme will be downloaded, unzipped and installed automatically. You can then choose to activate it or leave it in your personal collection of themes.

So by now, you can install both themes and plugins automatically. WordPress is getting easier and easier to use, and I’m sure a lot of newbies will find this new feature very appealing.
