My new wordpress theme rocks and here’s why

I have to admit, I am not a tech guy. I’ve got the basics down, but the rest..I have it done for me.

Yeah, call me lazy.

The result has been messing around with the blog themes, eventually leading to me messing things up and losing a year’s worth of posts. Luckily, I only post a couple of times a month, but still annoying.

So, I finally found a great wordpress theme: Thesis

I like it because it’s easy to manage, from SEO to styling it.

Let.s look at styling.  The theme looks great from the get-go, but you might want to add your own images in stead of the standard ones.

And that’s easy:

1. Find some pictures you like (if you don’t have any, go to www.flickr.com)

2. Don’t take images that are too big. The frame adjusts automatically, which is great, but you don’t want your images to take up the full screen.

3. Upload them to the following directory on your server: yourdomain/wordpress/wp-admin/wp-content/themes/thesis/rotator

Replace “yourdomain” with the directory name of your website. If you don’t know how to do this, ask someone to help you.

Done!

An option would be to delete the standard images, so you never see those again. They’re nice though, so you might want to leave them.

It’s that easy.

The most difficult thing is to upload the images, especially if you’ve never done that. The company that hosts your website surely can help you with that.

So, now all you need to do is get the theme. You can do that by going to the Thesis site.
