Themes
Changing the theme (skin) of your blog
Wordpress comes with a default theme set as standard. A theme decides on the look and feel of the blog site. It controls the colouring and layout of the site. It can be changed to suit the needs of the site. There are pre-defined themes which you can apply to your site which have been provided for you.
To change your current theme to another, you must first click the 'Appearance' menu item from the left hand side menu, then the 'Themes' link on the sub menu, as highlighted below.
You will then see the the current theme applied and a listing of all the available themes that can be applied to the blog site, instead of the default theme, as shown below.
To preview a new theme simply click its preview image (highlighted above) and a new window will open with a preview of what the theme will look like when applied to your blog site, as shown below
The theme can now be applied to your blog site or not. This is decided from the top menu of the theme preview window. To apply the theme press the 'Activate <THEME-NAME>' link on the right hand side of the top menu where <THEME-NAME> is the name of the theme being previewed or to exit out of the theme preview by pressing the X button on the left hand side of the top menu, as highlighted below.
