You’ve Got a Blog, Let’s Make it Beautiful

Now that you’ve set-up WordPress, it’s time to make your site beautiful! Login to your site by going to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php (or follow the link from your credentials). You’ll see this page that will log you in to the backend of your site!

Let’s make this thing pretty! Most likely, you’ll want to select a new theme since the ones that come with WordPress for free are pretty basic. You can hire a designer (like me!) to design you a custom theme or you can find a beautiful theme elsewhere and install it yourself. The second option is definitely more budget friendly and seriously, there are so many gorgeous options out there now! Here’s a few great places to start looking:

1. Leap Blog Design’s Pre-Fab Blog Designs: my company’s pre-made designs created especially with style publishers in mind!

2. StudioPress Themes: gorgeous, minimalist themes built on a great framework

3. Themeforest: one of the biggest sites to buy a theme, literally anything you want, you can most likely find it here
