Degree of difficulty: 1/5 Time: 2 minutes

You may have been wondering how you change the default style of your mytenerifeblog.com blog site to something that is a bit more in keeping with either your own blog or your own personality - well, its not that difficult really.

The default theme that comes with your new mytenerifeblog.com is the same default theme of any wordpress blog, its known as Kubric, its a very clean and functional theme but lacks a bit of imagination (in my opinion). As a result of this, there are many other wordpress themes that have been designed that you can use for your Tenerife Blog.

I use the theme Freshy 1.0 for this blog, the following post is aimed at showing you how you can easily change the Wordpress theme you use. It’s a simpe step by step operation and should take you around 2 minutes to complete.

  1. Log into your mytenerifeblog.com admin section.
  2. Click the presentation button and you will then see the new screen shown below [fig 1].
  3. This screen shows the current theme selected (in this case the default Kubric theme) and a list of all the other themes that are available.
  4. Select the style that you wish to use and click the link above the thumbnail to change the theme [fig 2].
  5. Your new theme is now set. You can check by clicking the link at the very top of your admin screen that says YOUR BLOG (view site >>)

I hope this helps you to start using your mytenerifeblog.com blog site.
