  Hello!

  Sorry, I am newer to wp and I have a question that I think might be dumb. I was reading a couple wp help pages about different ways to change my site. It kept saying to go to ‘appearance,’ but I just can’t find that tab? I tried to go on youtube, but my dashboard looks really different from all the tutorials I could find. Is there some switch I have wrong somewhere?

  Thanks!
  Hallie

  To clear up some confusion, the open source WordPress software and WordPress.com hosting have a few differences and are operated separately. https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  It sounds like you’re watching videos for WordPress software while editing a WordPress.com site. Try using the tutorials and support here instead of those on the web. I’d start here:

  Hope that helps!
