Themes

Themes, sometime better known as templates or skins, have been introduced into the WordPress personal publishing platform as of version 1.5. WordPress themes are easily installed into your blog through the presentation link in the administration panel. To install a theme:

1. Log in to the WordPress admin panel.
2. Select the Presentation menu option.
3. From the Select column in the table, click on “Select” for the theme you wish to activate.
4. To view the new look, click View Site at the top of the Panel’s screen.

The WordPress website has lots of information concerning themes. Please visit them to learn more. Fundamentally, the WordPress Theme system is a way to “skin” your weblog. Yet, it is more than just a “skin.” Skinning your site implies that only the design is changed. WordPress Themes can provide much more control over the look and presentation of the material on your website.
