How do I install a new rom after rooting with cwm? I made a backup with cwm and did a factory reset and I can't find the zip file on my sd card to flash to the new rom? can someone tell me how to do this?

Reboot.
After the reboot, unmount the SD card, and put the file on via a PC. Just put it in on the card, not in a file. Replace the Sd card, and remount to the phone. Reboot to recovery and try again.

I'm still having problems. I'm having to do a restore. It wouldn't let me install the new rom. It went back to factory and had to a lot of updates. I'm glad for the backup.

Try downloading the file again. There may have been a hiccup when you did.

Initial boot up takes a while. Upward of ten minutes.
Another to try is Slimroms.

Ok, I will try it again. I only waited like a min or two. That might be the reason.

I reset erase phone to factory settings and then reboot get a samsung screen and then it reinstalls factory rom. I have to go back install cwm zip and then do a backup. What am I doing wrong?? I see the other rom zip on pc and on sd card but not when in cwm recovery. Am I missing a step or something??
