Selecting Your Perfect WordPress Theme

WordPress offers a plethora of pre-made themes, catering to various styles and needs. Here’s how to find and choose the perfect one for your blog:

Explore the Theme Library: In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Appearance » Themes to browse through the vast collection of free and premium themes available. WP allows you to narrow down your options based on designs using the filters tab.

You’ll want to learn more about the theme, so go ahead and shoot over to YouTube to see what others have to say. I’ve seen a lot of talk centered around the Twenty Twenty theme myself. I tried it but then later decided using Newsmatic works for what I am trying to do.
