Hey folks! In this tutorial, I am going to walk you through the process of changing your website's "look" or "appearance". This is done by changing its WordPress theme.
Whether you're not satisfied with the current look, this video is going to give you the "know how" to change your website theme/design if you are ever in need.
Here’s What We Cover:

I recently activated a new theme with pre-installed social media icons, I need to remove the ones I'm not interested in and add the ones that I need and link them all to my existing social media accounts. I'm trying to figure out how to do that but I keep on getting stuck, anyone to help please. The nature of my target audience needs me to have it all figured out before I start to extensively share my content, I don't want to seem like an armature lol.
I've just passed the 15 post mark and need to sort out the theme issue before I create more content, is it too early to create a mailing list? If so, is there a specific tutorial on that? I need my site to look pro😬, a lot is at stake lol.
Can you give us your website URL and the theme you're using... Also, press F12 for developers tools to inspect the elements where they can remove it. Mind you, some free themes may have limitations; these icons could be embedded in your theme.
You can start a mailing list anytime you like; you may use Aweber, which is free for the first 500 subscribers
drivespree.com is my site and my theme is bloghash. About the icons, I can't link the ones I need to my social media accounts as well, thanks for the assistance.
That's where you find to try to edit - Appearance > Widgets
bloghash-header-widget__socials bloghash-header-widget bloghash-all
Usually, you input your social media username in the space provided.
I finally got it!! It's already morning where I am, tried sleeping but my mind couldn't rest lol. I. eventually found assistance through the theme's help page (a feature I didn't know they had until I accidentally landed on it🤦♂️), but still it was skeletal, I had to literally spend the whole night customizing everything to suit my preferances, made a lot of mistakes but it eventually paid off, I can peacefully sleep now lol.
That's perfect, Elias! Now you know and can teach others when an opportunity presents itself - Great effort and I am superbly happy for you :)

Hey Kyle,
I have been pulling my hair out trying to beautify my website using blocks. I can't get anything to line up properly or look the way I'd like. Do I need to purchase the premium WordPress modules to access more customization like drag and drop? Or specific training videos I can target to help me out?
Thanks Kyle
Go to the smart search up top (magnifying glass) and type in Wordpress wisdom and you’ll find a ton of short Wordpress tutorials showing a ton of stuff you can do with blocks. The teacher is not only awesome but he’s super handsome 😎👍🏼💯
Not at all; can you provide us with more details, please? And perhaps give us your website URL? Thank you.
www.gadgetguruconnect.com is the site I'm working on right now. I want to make my home page nice and neutral with lots of information, products, etc that catches the eye and keeps people engaged to explore more. Totally new to all this lol.
Sure man! And if you have any Wordpress related questions you wanna see a tutorial made for just let me know 👍🏼
It is better to focus on writing TONS of content when starting. When your website starts gaining traction and traffic, you may worry about beautifying, designing, or customizing it. Content takes the bulk of our sites and the longest to rank :)
Your visitors are looking to read content vs look at images and customizations.
