I do not even know how to begin building my website!

I'm not sure I have version 6 but since I just started tonight I'm going to assume that I do.
I've downloaded the theme I would like to use and saved it to my sites/all/theme folder but nothing happens.

Simple question: Where do i save a theme file to make it visible?

I've searched around, but I don't see a simple installation instruction.
Thank you!!!

Please excuse my newbie question. I know this can be done using the Story Module, but needed some tips and advice to better manage it.

I work for a company that manages a multitude of Web sites. We are currently shopping several different CMS' and I have a lot of questions that beg to be answered. One of the problems of looking at demos and features on the marketing site for most CMS' is that things get overlooked. So, I thought this would be a great place to post my questions, where people are actually using the product and know the details! Any input appreciated. Thanks.

• Multi-site capabilities
1.Can the CMS handle multiple sites with completely different domain names and different sets of users who manage the CMS?

• Multiple “permalinks” and page move possibilities
1.Do they have permalinks? When a page is moved between categories does the old link remain indefinitely?
2.Do all links inside page content magically get fixed when a page is moved?
3.Are there any references to the database structure for permalinks?

• Offline/Batch editing (page templates)
1.Are there ways to download page content offline, edit it and re-upload?
2.Any concept of check-in/check-out of files/pages?

• Staging environments
1.What mechanism is there for posting sites to a staging environment without posting the changes live?
It would be nice to show customers sites that are mid-way through development or new features etc.

• Global find/replace

Is there some way to bring up the template in Dreamweaver or Photoshop so that I can change the header and background color for my front page? I am so lost here, I'm trying to use the Garamond theme............I'd like to see how the template is laid out so that I can make changes.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
