Let's visualize your website in a different light.

Think of the bare bones of your site, the WordPress framework - as the 'bare bones' of your site.

That makes your theme its clothing, its fashion statement, so to speak.

Just like there are tons of different clothing designers in the world, so too are there tons of WordPress theme designers.

Understanding themes and their components will make it easier for you to narrow the field when choosing a theme for your website - either at the time of its initial build, or later, if you decide that your current theme is not meeting your needs.

The mechanics of choosing a theme are simple. But understanding how to use the "Feature Filter" will make finding something that works for you a whole lot easier than looking at page after page of previews.

In this first of a four-part series, we'll be looking at the various layout choces available within the Feature Filter.

I had to switch up themes early on as the one I had did not suit my needs. I did choose a R sidebar Theme Astra which so far is OK.
