Easily Change The Look of a WordPress Theme

February 21, 2007

I was bored today, so I opened up my favorite graphics program and created a new logo and background for this site’s theme, edited the theme’s stylesheet to change the colors and some other formatting, and the result is what you now see. I wanted something lighter and more feminine and I think I achieved it.

One WordPress theme can be altered so easily if you have some graphics skills and you know your way around CSS, XHTML and PHP. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
