I wasn't trying to be rude. But the fact is that LS is not a user friendly program and I'm not going to encourage it's use to anyone who appears to have limited experiance with computers. When you download software from the internet do you e-mail the author to find out how to use it or install it? NO! You open the file and read the documentation. I don't believe anyone who isn't familiar with this basic and standard practice is going to find LS useful. I could imagine the reception I would get if I went onto a PHP forum and asked, "How do I install PHP?".

Having said that, many themes don't contain instructions on how to install it. So for the newbies, if you download a theme that does not contain a readme file with step by step instructions on how to install it (as advised in the Open Theme Standard Requirements - #7) then it is not an OTS theme and should be avoided.
