Trying to change themes

  • Unknown's avatar

    Sorry to post such a basic question, but I am just starting out here and am lost. I am trying to figure out how to change themes. Following the instructions in the features area, it says to login to my dashboard and select presentation. Problem is when I click “your dashboard” from my main page, it does not show a page anything like what the help menu shows. There’s no presentation link, for example. I guess I’m having problems finding the same dashboard they are referring to. Thank you.

    Presentation is now called Design. After that, the instructions remain the same.

    I don’t see that heading either. I have the following headers on my dashboard:

    I am trying to follow a youtube tutorial, but my page looks nothing like his. Thanks

    Look above those where it says

    Write Manage Design Comments Upgrades

    The video is for wordpress.com blogs, not self-hosted?

    There is no write, manage or design on my dashboard. I thought I had a wordpress.com blog. Do I have the wrong program? Sorry, I’m lost and was hoping the tutorial would help me. :)

    This is what the top of my screen looks like after I click the dashboard link:

    Thank you, I never would have figured that out, as I could find no indication I needed to do anything more than the original signup I had done. Thanks.
