If you're just joining me now, you may want to visit the first three episodes of this training:

All About Themes: Part 1 - Layouts

All About Themes: Part 2 - Subjects

All About Themes: Part 3 - Features

You will need the information contained in those tutorials to make your decisions in Lesson 2 of this tutorial.

First, create a test site on .siterubix.com. Make sure to mark the entire site as 'noindex'. Or, alternately, you can place it under a maintenance plug-in. I am going to be creating a tutorial on how to set up a test site soon, but for now, just create something where you can test your theme choice.

Thank you for putting all this together. I also followed the links to your previous training and now have a much better understanding of terms i.e., "columns" , purpose of side bars, etc.

Your rationale for choosing a theme is excellent.

I am still a little confused when I see the option to add a menu - isn't one enough? Why would I need more than one menu and where would I put this second or third menu?

Where menus can be located vary by theme - they can have several locations, I like header and footer menus - header for navigation and footer for the legal stuff.

Of course...a footer menu for the legal stuff. Makes sense now. :-)
