Every newly created blog has the same default theme which you can easily change using the Appearance > Themes screen as follows:
Your ‘Current theme’ is shown near the top of the screen.
All “Available themes’ are shown at the bottom of the screen with 15 themes per page. To view all themes you need to check each page.
To preview any of the available themes just click on the screenshot of the theme or click on Preview.
This loads a preview window where you scroll down the page to see what that theme looks like on your blog. Clicking on links such as comments, page links, categories and tags takes you to that area of the blog so you can see how the theme looks without having to activate the theme.
If you like the theme, and want to use the theme, just click Activate on the top right hand side of the preview window. Click the X on the top left side to close the Preview window and continue browsing the theme repository.
To activate any of the available themes, without previewing, just click on the Activate.
Once your themes has been activated you can visit your blog site from inside the administration area of your blog by clicking on Visit Site.
Tip:
- If you hold the Ctrl key and then click Visit Site this loads your blog in another tab in your web browser.
- Don’t spend too much time initially on your blog theme because you will find that you change it as your tastes change.
