This is by far one of the most fun parts of setting up your own WordPress.org blog, the theme that you pick for it. Setting up a theme for a wordpress.org blog is something that is fairly easy to do.

But if you missed this from the beginning, here is the link back to the start, http://stevendownward.com/wordpress-blog-domain-hosting/

So let’s get into it and start setting up your theme. Just click the play button to get the training going.

As you can tell in the video, this is not something that is all that hard to do and it is actually pretty fun. You get to design what you want your blog to look like. What kind of color design would you like, what kind of options you would you like? These are all fun things to think about.

The one big thing that I want you to remember is not to get stress out about this. It is not like you are picking a theme and it will be there for the rest of time. You can change it whenever you like so just have some fun and do what feels good to you.

I mentioned a few places where you can get different themes. So I thought I would list them out for you here.

WooThemes – This is where I got my theme and the one that I showed you. I like them because they have lots to choose from and the options that you get with the themes are great.

WordPress.org – I showed you this and it had over a thousand different themes to choose from so you can just look away till you find something you like.

WarriorForum – Here you can have someone totally custom design you a blog theme. Just look in the Warrior For Hire section and you can check a bunch of them out.

The last thing that I wanted to mention was about buying a theme or getting one for free. You can do either one, it really does not make a different in the long run. The one thing that I have found though is that the free WordPress.org themes do not have the same kind of options as one that you paid for. So you might have to do a bit of extra work on it.

So I hope that this has helped you get your WordPress.org blog up and looking good.

Talk soon.
