Okay, when I set up my blog, I used the default WP look. You know, that
ugly piece of garbage because quite honestly, I never really planned on doing anything with it. Well, now I have about 175 articles on it and want to spruce it up. How can I do this without trashing all the articles? |

Try to add a new template and change it. It would be ok. Just try.

What I mean is use the new template and it will work without having a problem. Just activate the new template you want if you have or modify it in the design section if you know HTML.

The great thing about WP is that you can just upload a new theme and give your site a facelift in 2 seconds.
Might want to make sure you are using the latest wordpress version before you do that, though - I'm not sure if it matters but maybe some of the new themes might not work with an older version? |
|
Why spend weeks or even months getting your website up and running when you can buy a unique content blog and start promoting it today?
Some sites are even getting some traffic and making some money! |

Hi Steven,
You don't have to. Just look for a new design theme, download it and upload the new theme into your blog... Upload the new theme folder into: wp-content > themes Then when you login to your WP dashboard, click on Design > Theme and choose the new look. Activate it. Viola~ Asher |

You can find additional themes for your site in the WordPress theme directory. To install a theme you generally just need to upload the theme folder into your wp-content/themes directory. Once a theme is uploaded, you should see it on this page. I am using a VERY old Wordpress version. It's 2.1.3. If I look up a theme, will it say what versions it's compatible with? | |

Adding and changing the WP blog template won't affect your content.

Everyone is always telling me how easy Wordpress is, but I am with Steven on this one. I recently bought a new site that is built as a WP blog and I am completely lost when I log into the back-end of it.

Most of the templates are compatible to old versions.
Just upload the extracted theme to /wp-content/themes/ folder on your FTP software. Next step is to login to your wp-admin and find the design of the new template, click it and choose activate or similar words. Just try it and if won't work just re-activate the old one and find another template you like. Ross |

Never run an old version of wordpress as it could leave you open to being hacked. Changing a theme will not lose you your articles - short of actually deleting them almost nothing will lost you your data so I wouldn't worry too much. Just give it a go and see what happens - you'd be surprised how often it's easier that you think it will be. | |

own platform to do it on, I'd be broke. ![]() Oh and Matt, I do know enough about Wordpress to find my way around, but I only saw one other theme in my backoffice and couldn't find where to get others. Then I saw the note at the end of the page. My only REAL concern was doing this and losing everything because I've seen stuff like that happen. Okay, last question. What's like the "hottest" and most popular theme going today? Is there one or does it really not matter as long as it's not one that's older than dirt and makes you look like a rookie. | |
