    And yes I know I have to purchase the “MOOD” theme but before doing so I would like to know how to use it.

    I’m afraid the most I can help you here is to point you to MOOD’s support doc, here: https://wordpress.com/themes/mood/support/

    Once you have bought the theme you’ll have access to the theme’s dedicated support forum where the theme designer can help you with any issues you might have, but our ability to help you with a premium theme in the main forum is very limited, as we (that is, the volunteers) can’t actually load the theme on our test blogs to figure out how it works, as that would require buying the theme ourselves.

    You might also want to consider working through the tutorials so you know how the WordPress.com basics work. That will make setting the theme up later much easier. I would lastly recommend that you first create some content (posts, pages and portfolio projects) before you set up a theme, as for example creating menus before you actually have pages can sometimes lead to some very confusing results.

    Thank you very much for your answer. Yes indeed I will check the tutorials and I am about to create a portfolio.
    I am a bit confused regarding the last part of your message. What do you mean menus and pages. So far I have 2 pages in my actual blog, both with very basic info.

    Again thanks
    Alex.

    You can create custom menus on a site. Normally, when you publish a page, it’s automatically added to the menu. But you can also add links, individual posts or archive pages to the menu, or edit the link titles of pages already on the menu, etc. Many users try to add page titles to a custom menu before actually creating the pages, and then when they do create the pages those menu links don’t link to them, causing a lot of confusion.

    Same if you try add a portfolio page to your theme before creating portfolio projects. I’ve seen users ask why their portfolio pages are blank. Meanwhile they hadn’t published projects yet.

    That’s why I say, first create the content, then arrange it the way you want it. It just makes things simpler in the long run.
