  Yesterday, I was talking with another WordPress user http://stevelopesblacksmith.com/ He told me that the photo on the header (top) of his home page changes every 5 seconds. This sounds like a good idea. Would it be possible to do that with my site, craigbuhler.com ( cbjazz.wordpress.com ) ?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Craig,

  That site isn’t a WordPress.com site, so the theme that user used wouldn’t apply to a site here, but we do have themes with sliders (they aren’t automatic, but have a similar layout. Check out the themes here:

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  My site has been around for several years now, and it has tons of posts and pages, some with complex formatting. I’m scared to death that changing themes would disrupt the layout of many pages and posts.

  You can go to Appearance > Themes in your Dashboard and Preview what a new theme would look like. When you hover over a theme, there will be a Preview link. Please expect that any theme changes will need some time to get it customized to your liking. So if you’re short on time, it may be best to wait until you do.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions once you change the theme!
