  I can’t find anything anywhere on my dashboard about how to change a theme. Am I missing something?

  In the left navigation bar click on appearances then on themes.

  There is nothing in the left nav bar that says “Appearances.” Just the following:

  From the sounds of things you are not an administrator on the blog.

  Someone else did set up the blog and said I had admin rights. When I log in the URL says /wp-admin/ at the end. Are there different levels of admin rights?

  No. Go to users > your profile and you will be able to see if you what level of permissions you have. There are 4: contributor, author, editor and administrator (from lowest to highest level).

  Thanks! I was listed as an administrator but had to check the box next to my name and “apply.” All set now.
