Install The Mystique Theme (This video is only installing the theme)

Here is the link to download the Mystique Theme: Version 2.4.3 http://digitalnature.eu/download/mystique-wordpress-2.4.3.zip

Note: The developers just updated this theme recently to version 3.0.7 Alot of people are not liking the newest version so I recommend staying with the old version 2.4.3. Why fix something if it aint broke? Right?

Warning!!! Do not upgrade to the new version 3.0.7 if you are currently using 2.4.3 because you will lose alot of your settings and more.

You can find support for that theme here: http://digitalnature.eu/themes/mystique/

Install Plugin Central (Installs all your plugins at once)

Note: If you use WP Twin (WordPress Cloner), then you wont have to do any of the following steps and it will save you many hours of rinsing and repeating the process.
