Changing themes

  • Unknown's avatar

    Once I have chosen a free theme for my blog and started writing several posts can I still change theme without upgrading? How? Is there a free theme, a part from Splendio, where the tagline is under the title of the blog? Finally would you have a suggestion for a theme that would work best for my blog? Thanks very much for your help. I am new to the blogging world and I have a lot to learn!

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

    Yes, most of the themes here are free and have the tagline, if any, under the title.

    Thank you. Do you know if I can swap free themes even once I have started posting?

    Yes. Some people change themes as often as they change clothes.

    You can change themes as many times as you like quickly and easily to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.

    Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes and browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate” or type in the name of the theme you want to use and
    click the “activate” link when it appears.

    After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

    Thank you ! This is exactly what I needed to know. I was worried of losing content. Will give it a try! Many thanks again
