Are you someone who’s just starting with WordPress and feeling overwhelmed? Or maybe you’ve been around for a while but still struggle with the technical stuff? Don’t worry—you’re in the right place! In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to modify some key technical components on your WordPress website. Let’s get started!
1. Changing the WordPress Theme
Your WordPress theme controls the overall look and feel of your website. Here’s how to change it:
Log into your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Appearance > Themes.
Click Add New to browse themes.
Hover over a theme and click Live Preview to see how it looks.
If you like it, click Activate to apply the theme to your site.
That’s it! Your new theme is now live.
2. Using HTML Tags in a Blog Post
HTML tags are essential for structuring your content. Here’s how to use them:
Creating an Ordered and Unordered List
To add a list in your blog post, use the following HTML code:
html
Copy
- First Item
- Second Item
- Third Item
- Bullet One
- Bullet Two
- Bullet Three
Run HTML
Emphasizing Text Using
To italicize or emphasize a word, wrap it with :
html
Copy
WordPress for DUMMIES 101.
Run HTML
Creating Headings (H1, H2, etc.)
Use heading tags to structure your content:
html
Copy
Main Heading
Subheading
Run HTML
3. Using Custom CSS
Custom CSS lets you tweak the appearance of your site beyond the theme settings. Here’s how to add CSS:
Go to Appearance > Customize.
Select Additional CSS.
Enter your CSS code. For example:
css
Copy
body {
background-color: #f4f4f4;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
h1 {
color: #446;
font-size: 2em;
}
p {
line-height: 1.6;
}
