• Gradebook Declaration: I have changed the theme on my student blog to something other than the WordPress default theme, or I have uploaded a custom header image to the WordPress default theme.

When you first created your student blog, it used the WordPress default theme and looked the same as everyone else’s blog. But WordPress has many themes you can use to change the look of your blog, and I have made 60 themes available for your usage. (If you don’t like any of the themes or feel that none of them reflect your personal brand in a meaningful way, you can select a minimalist theme framework like Theme Hybrid or Thematic: you’ll get your chance to express yourself in your final project.)

Here’s a brief video showing how to change the theme.

Change Your Theme

(Only the first 30 seconds of this video, talking about previewing and activating new themes, apply to our student blogs. Ignore the rest about filtering themes.)
