Okay so hi.
Heres whats got me confused.
I was messing around with the easy site creator or whatever and couldnt find a theme or color scheme i liked. so, i downloaded a template from www.freewebsitetemplates.com. I got everything uploaded and stuff, but for example now when i go to the easy site thing it shows the network solutions theme still..but when i click view a live version it shows the theme i want. Can i still use the site creator or how do i go about editing and inserting everything?
Thanks for the help

You cannot use the Website Creator to edit a different template - only those available within the Website Creator. The Website Creator actually runs on a different server than your "live" website - only when you Publish do the files get copied to your hosting package.

If you wish to edit template from freewebsitetemplates you'll need to use a HTML editor on your local computer (such as Dreamweaver) and then copy the files to the server.

I hope that helps.
