Designing Your Site
Working with themes
Themes allow you to change the design/look of your blog at anytime. Changing your theme will not affect the primary content of your site. It may seem as though some content has disappeared, but you just need to tell the new theme where the content should go.
- Choose a theme
- Customize your header image - some themes allow for you to add your own header image Appearance > Header Image (may only appear if your chosen theme supports custom header images)
- Make additional changes to your theme (advanced)
- Change what your front page displays if you'd prefer a static page instead of your latest posts (optional).
- Custom Menus - allow you to modify the navigation for your site.
- not all themes support custom menus
Sidebars
Many themes support sidebar content. A theme's sidebar may default to a particular set of "widgets." You can change this by adding your own widgets.
- Widgets - add additional features to your sidebar
- Add external links to your sidebar
