+Place downloaded and custom themes that modify your site's appearance in this
+directory to ensure clean separation from Drupal core and to facilitate safe,
+self-contained code updates. Contributed themes from the Drupal community may
+be downloaded at http://drupal.org/project/themes.
-This directory should be used to place downloaded and custom themes
-which are common to all sites. This will allow you to more easily
-update Drupal core files.
+It is safe to organize themes into subdirectories and is recommended to use
+Drupal's sub-theme functionality to ensure easy maintenance and upgrades.
+
+In multisite configuration, themes found in this directory are available to
+all sites. Alternatively, the sites/your_site_name/themes directory pattern may
+be used to restrict themes to a specific site instance.
+
+Refer to the "Appearance" section of the README.txt in the Drupal root
+directory for further information on theming.
