Adding a theme to your WordPress blog is easy. All you need is a copy of the theme you want to use, and the WordPress install script. Once you have the install script, follow these simple steps:
1) Log into your WordPress admin area.
2) Click on the Appearance tab in the admin area.
3) In the Theme Selector box, click on the Choose Theme button.
4) Locate and click on the download link for the theme you want to use.
5) Once you have downloaded the theme, open it up in your favorite editor.
6) Locate and copy the contents of the theme’s folder to your WordPress blog’s root directory (this is where all of your blog content lives).
7) In your WordPress blog’s root directory, create a new file called functions.php. This file will contain all of the code necessary to activate and use your new theme.
8) Open up functions.php in your favorite editor and add these lines of code:.
// start of our functions.php file // add our theme’s header function add_theme_header() { ?>
