At this point, you must have already set up your website. If not, go ahead and get started with Lesson 4 & 5 of the Getting Started (Level 1) of the Online Entrepreneur Certification.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR THEME:

Now, let's customize your website and make it the way you wanted it to look. So, log in to your WordPress dashboard with your username and password.

You can change the appearance of your website by changing your theme. There are more than a thousand themes that you can choose from in WordPress. They are available to you and are ready-to-use! In your dashboard go over to "Appearance" and click on "Themes." Then "Install Themes"

When you click the "Install Theme" tab, you will see various options to choose. You can filter the features and choose the color, the number of columns, the type of width that you like, select some specific features, and subject. Or you can scroll down and click the "Find Themes" tab.

Once you have picked the theme that you really like, install now, and then activate. Once you have activated, refresh your website, and you will see the new theme installed.

Thanks for the great post. There were a couple new things I learned there. There's so much to learn with internet marketing that we learn something new every day, especially from posts like this. Cheers!

Thanks for the compliment, Ian. This is so encouraging! Yes, we can always learn new things everyday when we keep our minds open to learning. And we keep learning so that we have something to share to others who need help. I'm happy to have you around here.

You're so welcome, Vel. It's my pleasure. I was in your place when I first started. And it's frustrating to be going around places to find relevant answers. I'm glad to be of help. Please share with those who needed help so that they. too, can build the foundation of their websites easily.

You're most welcome, Beccah. Those are the things I needed help with when I first began building my own website. And I didn't find a one-stop tutorial that can walk me through WordPress. That's why I thought of putting 'em together to help others who are just beginning. I'm glad it could be of help to you. Happy building! It should be fun!
