How to Put a Theme to a WordPress Blog

Upload Your Theme in the Dashboard
1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to 'Appearance' and then 'Themes.' Click the 'Add New' link under 'Themes.' Go to 'Upload' under 'Install Themes.' Select the zip file containing your theme and click 'Install Now.' Click the 'Return to Themes Page' link after the theme finishes installing.
2. Navigate to 'Appearance' and click the 'Themes' link to load the 'Manage Themes' screen. Find your new theme in the list of 'Available Themes' and click the 'Activate' link beneath its screen shot.

3. Look under 'Appearance' for a link with a name like 'Theme Options.' Look under 'Settings' for a theme options page if you do not see one under 'Appearance.' Not all themes come with an options page, but you can use this page to set up text, ads and other options. Remember to click 'Save' before previewing your website.

5. Browse the search results and click the 'Install' link under the theme you want to install. Click the blue 'Install Now' button on the pop-up. Wait for the theme to finish installing and then click the 'Return to Theme Installer' link.
