Updates theme-install tips for WP 2.8

On the plugins page we experimented with adding some explanatory text to the contextual help and then putting a short description of the page along with a link to the install page.

That’s not a bad idea, and it helps keep the main screen clean.

I didn’t know what to do about it, or if the Plugins pages are final, but I’ll give it another try if I’m not beaten to it.

As a side-thought, it seems to me that things would be easier with an horizontal menu: The functionality would be discoverable immediately and we would not need to point it out and to link to it:

----------------------------------------------
      | Comments | APPEARANCE | Plugins |
-----------------/            \---------------
| THEMES | Widgets | Editor | Add new themes |
----------------------------------------------

But that’s another discussion. :-D
