Selecting and Installing Your New WordPress Site Theme
This is Fun - Hundreds to Choose From

By , About.com Guide

We will learn where to go to look at hundreds of interesting theme layouts for your blog. There are a couple of criteria I'll use that you may not:

  • I want 3 columns for instructional purposes...you may want more or less.
  • I don't like to waste valuable screen space above the fold...thus not a big top header.
  • I'll be using a clean and simple theme to help you get familiar with the way it all works.

In this instruction, you'll learn about selecting a theme, uploading it to your server, and installing it in WordPress. This first image is of the WordPress site for themes. You'll find a lot of other sites out there on a Google search for "WordPress themes," but this one probably has what you need.
