kinda new to blogging. LOL so, i have a blog (wordpress). how easy/difficult is it to CHANGE my blog's look (theme?) i mean, i need REALLY easy. and, where the heck do you find new themes/looks anyway? THANKS mike
Once you upload the themes to your server, you can change the theme by going to Presentation- Themes. Changing is very very easy There are loads of places you can get wordpress themes http://themes.wordpress.net/ is one http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes/Theme_List
thanks gr8. that does sound easy. does this look right: 1) find a new theme i like 2) download it to my computer 3) upload it to my server 4) just on the root, or in a particular folder?? 5) login to my blog 6) select "change theme" and now, #7... will everything that's on my blog now, still be there when i use a new theme? links, ads, posts, EVERYTHING?? in other words, it's AUTOMATED to copy everything over to the new theme? thanks. mike
You need to upload it to wp-content/themes Your posts and stuff will automatically transfer to the new theme. In some themes, the links do not necessarily appear on every page/ category. A little tweaking of the theme will do the trick. This is a good resource to start with- http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes
To change the meta tags look for header.php to change the navigation down the side look for sidebar.php to change the footer look for footer.php and this is just for starters. WP is easy to change.
i bought it from someone a few months ago. in fact, when i transferred it to my own hosting, i lost EVERYTHING. someone here helped me get it back online, and with the help of google cache, i RE-CREATED many posts. anyway, i haven't changed my theme yet, but i plan to this summer when i have some free time. thanks all, for the feedback.
Well there are many free Wp themes available out there. You will be amazed to see How easy it is...to actually get one of those theme and make ur site up and running. Best of luck.
