    Greetings Everyone
    I am a member of Marin Professionals Association, which is a non profit community of unemployed professionals sponsored by EDD .Since April I have been searching and testing different formats of WordPress templates but recently in their website showcase, I found an incredible website: ""www.umwblogs.org" that our community would really benefit from .So now I am trying to recreate our "marinprofessionals.com" website with the same capabilities that www.umwblogs.org" has.

    1) I have registered the domain (marinprofessionals.com) and am hosting it with Godaddy,
    2) I uploaded the MUWP 2.4.8a version zip file to my godaddy account and unziped it.
    3) From godaddy I uploaded the BuddyPress zip 1.1.2 version and unziped it as well
    Please bear with me...as I have some questions that may seem silly to you...
    1. my plan was to create each page starting with the home page from a WPMU template and then add the sliding panels and user login capability similar to ""www.umwblogs.org"
    but the problem is I don''t see any templates available in WPMU.
    Can you please help me to get started in the right direction?

    2) Today while searching for direction in the MUforums, I found in the "Themes and Templates" category a comment regarding "Following Andy's (Peatling) instructions to use Buddypress 1.1.1 with WPMU 2.8.4a and having it working well with the Woo "Journal theme".
    I would like to know how did you find Andy's (Peatling) instructions?

    3) Is there a way I can customize the UMW blogsite : http://umwblogs.org/ to make it suitable to our www.marinprofessionals.com needs?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    "but the problem is I don''t see any templates available in WPMU."

    Go to Site Admin -> Themes. Make sure the buttons are set to "yes". Then they will show up in the Appearance menu.
