Installing Wordpress? Change Your Template

Boogie · 2005-04-15, 03:41 PM

Right now every yahoo and their mother is using the default template of wordpress.

This is a problem for many many obvious reasons.

If you havent made any heavy modifications to the .php files yet then switching to a new theme is super easy and very very much advised:

If you've already made some heavy mods to your .php files or something to that effect its fairly simple to still change the look of your blog by changing the image files. That's why mine at least looks a little bit different.

Inside this folder
wp-content/themes/default/images/

you'll find all of the images you'll need to alter. Easily done by any of the great GG and J regular designers (Hi Urb) they can come up with something unique. Or by simple playing around in photoshop its easy to change your colorscheme, or add small details that make your blog stand out.

Changing the header is so easy even a trained monkey can do it.

But right now in a world where wordpress 1.5 has been downloaded over 100,000 times its a great, great idea to find a new theme before its too late!

Thanks for the link, I found something to use for the time being until my site gets a theme of it's own.
