Now, utilizing the list of themes you gathered in the last lesson, log in to your test site and search for those themes by name and install them to your site. Make sure that the theme is compatible with the current version of Wordpress and that it is being updated regularly as well.
You'll be able to activate the themes one by one and 'play around with them' to see how you like them prior to installing one of them to your live site. Be sure to fully back up your site prior to changing themes.
Depending on how you've set up your test site, you should already know how the new theme is going to impact your menus, images, etd., so there should be no 'surprises.' when you activate the new theme.

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?

I am thinking and looking for a theme for my new website and thought I had found one until this training.
You have given me important things to think about. Thank you
