WordPress separates the content of your blog from its layout or appearance through the use of templates and css files bundled together and called themes.

The default WordPress theme is currently the Kubrick theme. I will have probably changed this site’s layout since, so here’s a screenshot of blogmaking.net with the default theme:

To manage and change your themes, go to your Dashboard and click on Presentation/Themes and you’ll see all the installed themes that you have. WordPress also comes preinstalled with another theme: WordPress Classic 1.5.

To Switch Themes all you need to do is click on the thumbnail or the title of your chosen them in the list of the other available themes and this will apply it to your site. Check out your site’s new theme… here’s blogmaking.net with the WP Classic 1.5 theme:

I don’t know if you can tell from the screenshot but this theme doesn’t automatically shrink images to fit the width of the post, so I’m going back to the default for the time being. You can easily switch back by going to the Presentation/Themes panel and clicking on your old theme.

Once you add more themes, it’s the same process to activate your new ones.
