  1. You can choose a new theme, if you want a fully new look.

  2. Depending on the included features in the theme you choose, you can customize some areas under Dashboard > Appearance. (For instance, you use the TRVL theme, which allows you to upload your own design as a header image.)

  3. If you want to make design changes to the CSS of a theme, you can purchase a Custom Design upgrade and add css to style your content differently.

  Good luck!

  I want to modify the appearance of my blogs yet the Dashboard menu does not include the “Appearance” menu item. If I use the “My Blogs” section to “Change Theme” I get sent to a page that says “does not exist” and if I click on “Customize” it takes me to a screen that says “cheatin’ uh ?”

  My dashboard menu has only the following items:
  Home
  Comments I’ve Made
  Site Stats
  My Blogs
  Blogs I follow
  Omnisearch

  The blog I’m currently trying to update is wildmoonevents.wordpress.com but this issue applies to all blogs I manage:
  innerjourneyoutfitters.wordpress.com
  innerjourneyevents.wordpress.com
  mybiz101blog.wordpress.com

  Have tried the following browsers: Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Waterfox.

  Please help!

  This sounds like it might be part of the dashboard problems people are having today throughout the forum. I hope it will be resolved soon. Once it is, let me know if you have questions about the options I gave you above. Good luck!
