template

  • Unknown's avatar

    i would like some advice on what template would suit my blog- hi guys i have migrated back from blogger to WordPress-
    Before i decide on paying for a template i was wondering if you could offer me advice, i will very soon be making money from my lifestyle/fashion blog, promoting and featuring products.
    can you suggest which theme would have a close layout to these 2 blogs? and is wordpress.com a good site to be restarting my blog for business purposes? i have a very basic understanding of the backend stuff. these 2 blogs i like the layout can you suggest something close? and that has a more narrow size column width

    Hi there,

    One theme that I love and I think closely matches what you’re looking for would be the Zuki theme here:

    https://wordpress.com/themes/zuki/

    Can you check that one out and let me know if it’s close or misses the mark?

    Also, regarding the business blog, please note, we do have restrictions on advertising and affiliate marketing. You can read more here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/

    Please let me know if you have any specific questions!

    Yes that looks good

    can you help me with certain things in the process of setting it up?

    also yes in regards to business, it would be things like selling on a shop front like shopify, featuring products for people to buy. is that allowed?

    what kind of restrictions on affliate marketing are there? Don’t quite understand that part.

    thanks

    This is definitely possible. However, for the best possible outcome, I’m going to direct you to the CSS Customization forum here:

    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization

    The reason is that width customization can negatively affect how your site appears on mobile devices, and we don’t want that! Our CSS gurus will be able to give you the CSS you want without messing up how your site appears on smaller screens.

    Please note, if you want to use CSS, you will need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade shown here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

    also yes in regards to business, it would be things like selling on a shop front like shopify, featuring products for people to buy. is that allowed?

    We do offer ecommerce through WordPress.com. However, it requires a WordPress.com Business upgrade as explained here:

    Sell Online on WordPress.com

    what kind of restrictions on affliate marketing are there?

    Affiliate links in general are fine, provided you’re linking to items you’re interested in or recommending for others. However, we don’t want to have blogs up with the sole purpose of driving traffic to affiliate links. They should fit in naturally alongside your content, not be the main highlight of your content.

    Additionally, please refrain from linking affiliate links to images (like an image ad). We have some additional details on affiliate links here:

    You can submit these questions here:

    Just click “Add New” as shown here:

    Then, enter your questions in the forum thread.

    How do i change the fonts in the sidebar, menu ?

    That can be done through the instructions here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

    How do i set up a Menu in the header area to be centred and choose a font?

    The menu in the header area should be centered by default. You’ll need to follow the instructions here to set it up:

    Menus

    The fonts portion of your question is addressed earlier (similar to the sidebar).

    also how do i delete the home icon in the header?

    This should be changed when you add a custom menu. Let’s see what this looks like after you setup the menu!

    Hi!

    It looks like your question was indeed submitted correctly on the CSS Customizations forum here:

    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-change-the-width-of-the-columns-and-size-of-fonts?replies=1

    I’m going to let some of our CSS gurus take a look at the width as that can influence how your site appears on mobile devices. However, I can answer your font-related questions. You can change the fonts and font sizes following the instructions here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

    Can you give that a try?
