I changed my theme after a few months and then discovered it didn't do some things I wanted it to. My posts were not easy to read and I could not alter the line spacing. I don't do code. Maybe the theme could have been edited to suit me but I didn't have those skills so I went looking for a new theme.

What I wanted was to be able to put in a space between the lines in my posts for bullet points or numbered lists. With the theme I had the spacing between lines was very small and made the print hard to read. Also the print was grey on a white background making it even more difficult. I spent a lot of time looking for a theme that would allow me to add line spacing but to date I have not found one.

What I did find was a theme with better line spacing and darker more distinct print that made my posts easier to read and by adjusting a couple of things in the appearance of the theme I think it looked pretty good. Best of all it was easier on the eyes.

I prefer not to have a side bar and this theme gave me the choice of having a side bar or not. There were a lot of things I could change in this theme so it suited my needs. The header could be plain (which I chose) or have a fancy slider or just a static picture. The theme was very easy to set up just how I wanted it and I was happy with it.

Thank you for this information- I also changed my theme but could not figure out the plugins - without the lessons telling me what to add I was totally lost - could not figure out how to make the new theme work for me - This time I will take the time to set up a test site just for this purpose- thank you again that helps

The first time I changed my theme I lost Google Analytics. Suddenly my site was not getting any traffic and I had no idea why.
I think a test site is a really good idea and you will find it helpful in the long run.

I really appreciate you sharing this training, Margaret:). I read through it, and found some things that I need to go back and check! Wouldn't it be nice to just tell the computer how you want your website to look, and then it just magically appear?!!!
Blessings:)

Yes, it does seem to be the forgotten one, doesn't it?
