  I’ve logged into WordPress but what’s the next step to getting a website template for my business? I can’t seem to find them?

  Hi nell083,
  Once you log in you should see an overview of your activity on WordPress.com. At the top left you’ll see the tabs “My Sites” and “Reader”.

  1. Click on “My Sites”

  You should now see your site listed in a small box at the top left, directly below the navigation. If you only have one site, this should be the only one listed. If you have more than one site, then make sure the one listed is the one you want to grab the theme for. You can click “SWITCH SITE” to do that.

  2. Once you are certain you are on the correct site, click the “WP Admin” link with is below the box with your site name and directly about the blue “Stats” button.

  Now you are on the dashboard that you will come to know and love ;)

  3. Hover over “Appearance” and click “Themes”

  Now you will see loads of wonderful themes you can choose from.

  4. Hover over a theme and click “Activate”.

  You’ve turned it on! Now check it out on the front end by hovering over “My Sites” at the top left and clicking “View Site”.

  TIP: open the link in a new tab, that way you can keep the admin dashboard open and try different themes and refresh the the front end view in a separate tab.
