Have not seen your site but it may happen due to missing header and footer images

It looks like you haven´t uploaded the images directory included with your exported theme. Upload the whole images folder to http://reeferpokercouponbonus.com/wp-content/themes/artisteerreefer/

It does look like your image folder is not there. Did you upload the complete theme folder to your wp-content/themes folder?

as far as i can tell ive uploaded everything.....i see all the image files in my filemanager of my site......is there something else im not doing? or could i have uploaded them incorrectly?
also, i see that my text doesn't fit within my text boxes on my site.....how would i fix that?

i uploaded everything again.....should i re-activate my theme? would that make a difference

I tried to look at your Header.jpg file where it should be and it is not found. Your boxes aren't complete because your theme uses graphics to complete the boxes and they don't seem to be in the right place. When you are in your WordPress dashboard and choose your theme, does it look complete in the preview that comes up alowing you to activate it??

I should see your header file.
Just like I can see this one...

If you don't know how to upload a theme to wordpress, you should practice using some free themes and understand the process before attempting it with an Artisteer theme.
You need a folder with your theme name under the wp-content/themes directory.
wp-content/themes/YOURTHEMENAME
in that folder there should be PHP files CSS files and an image directory. You also need images in the image directory.
You also need to know that image files need to be uploaded as BINARY files and php and css files get uploaded as ASCII files. If you upload images files as ASCII, they won't work.
