  I’m trying to revitalize my site, but I can’t find a theme that looks right AND lets me use a background image instead of just a colour. How do I search for that and make it work the way I want?

  Hi there,

  You can actually search for that feature. Follow this link https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/custom-background

  You can search for them in the search bar as well. Search for: custom background.

  When you found your favorite, editing a theme will be possible through the Customizer. Let us know if you have any specific customizing question. We are happy to help!

  Thanks, I can’t make any sense of any of the updates, it’s been a few years since I’ve changed my site and NOTHING works with my brain anymore. You’d think it was all Apple now or something. :-P

  It’s true; we’ve made some big changes to the editor environment. We use what are called “blocks” now. If you’re interested in getting to know them a bit better check out this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/

  Let us know if you have any other questions as you get to know the new editor and tools. We’re here to help. :)
