I cant find this option on wordpress either..... Permalinks
ive looked hard on dashboard etc.
i seem to be logged in, am i missing something here
see below im following instructions from your read me file
cheers
General Settings
I highly recommend you to do the following:
1. Go to the settings tab on the Wordpress panel.
2. Then refer to the Permalinks settings and select the common settings to be Month and Name or any other option beside the default
3. Save the changes
This will allow you to have pages like: http://www.yourwebsite.com/about, http://www.yourwebsite.com/contact and that way retrieve have canonical URL's (SEO friendly).

i followed these instructions also (below) there is no option to activate theme?
Installing the theme
After extracting the file you just downloaded, copy the /typographic folder and paste it or upload it on your server under /wp-content/themes/ then login to your admin panel and go to the Appearance»themes and activate the theme.
What I mean Brad, is are you trying to use this theme on Wordpress.com. This is a premium theme for Self hosted Wordpress installations :/.
This means that you need to have your own website hosted on your own server, and then download the latest Wordpress from http://wordpress.org (not .com). If you see the documentation at the beginning, there is a link to download the latest Wordpress version.
Allow me to quote the documentation:
Setup and installation
This theme has been developed on Wordpres 2.9.1, if you haven't updated yet your Wordpress, this is the right time since WP is always evolving and releasing updates. It hasn't been really tested on former version. To download Wordpress 2.9.1 click here and here you have a quick guide on how to install Wordpress.

yes I have my own host http://www.braddurack.com
I have uploaded wordpress via bluehost and the typographic template via ftp
how do I use it then? how do i open it, in dreamweaver??
how do i even use the mad editor to put my content on the template and choose color etc
Okay great if your Wordpress is self-hosted then you shouldn't have any issues. You only need to unzip the downloaded file then upload the /typographic folder under /wp-content/themes/ via FTP. Once its done, you login to your Wordpress Dashboard and under Appearance >> themes you should see the typographic theme. Just click on activate it, and then you are good to go :)
The MAD Panel options will show up under the Appearance tab once the theme is Activated.
I am sure you did Brad, But I just checked your site's login page and it's coming from http://durack7.wordpress.com. What you currently see at http://www.braddurack.com is a mirror of you wordpress.com blog. What you need to do is to remove that mirror, and reinstall Wordpress from bluehost on your root folder.
This issue as it is now is not really a theme-related problem. I kindly suggest you to head over Wordpress support at http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ from there you can learn the difference from the 2 different Wordpress services (.com and .org).

ok I have just set up my bluehost account today
I have set up wordpress via cpanel
and i added typograph theme via ftp
I also only just changed the dns settings to point from wordpress to my new http://www.braddurack.com host.
Do you think it may be to soon, as it said it may take 72hours to work.
How do i remove the old mirror?
do i start a new wordpress account?
it would be much easier if i could call you via phone, or even give you my login in information to see for yourself

how do i get rid of the wordpress.com mirror?

Brad, it would be definitely easier, but the support we provide (for such affordable products)is only limited to theme related problems, which is not the case right now.
However we provide dedicated services for Wordpress installation and Wordpress theme customizations but we charge an hourly fee for it. If you are interested please drop me a mail at helios@wordpressmadness.com and I will send you more details with my personal contact information.
Best regards.

Okay, I recommend you to head over to http://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start this is a full guide on how to use Wordpress.org from the beginning.
I am happy to hear that you enjoy the theme and support :)
