  • You’ll need to edit the theme files to change anything about the appearance of your site. (Located in wp-content/themes.) You can do this via the admin – go to Presentation > Theme Editor – as long as your file permissions are set to make the files writeable. Otherwise, you can open the files locally in any plain text or non-WYSIWYG HTML editor, make the edits, then upload them to the server. This will require at least some knowledge of CSS and it’s very helpful to know PHP (though you can muddle through without knowing it all that well).

    If you already have a vision of what you want it to look like but don’t know how to design it from scratch, you’ll be much better off looking for a theme that is closest to what you want, then editing that theme. (Google “wordpress themes”)

    In order to be able to even edit the theme files though, you’ll probably want to get to know WP a little better. The Codex is a great place to poke around some to learn, and when you’ve got the hang of it, the Design and Layout section will be extremely helpful.
