Ever wanted to change the little icon that displays next to the title of your blog in your browser? Maybe add your logo or something that people will recognize?

No problem! All you need to add is a favicon!

The WordPress Template Hierarchy is what enables WordPress to know what file it should use for different parts of your blog.

It also allows YOU to know which file you need use when you want to customize something!

Ever had a page on your blog that didn’t need a sidebar, but aren’t sure how to remove it?

No problem.

Not every page on your blog needs to look the same. Sometimes you may need a different sidebar, or no sidebar at all. Some pages might need a completely different layout and style, depending on your goals and your visitors needs.

Page templates are an effective (and easy) way to accomplish that. Templates allow to prepare as many alternative layouts, color schemes and styles as you need, and then only use them when you need them – and they are insanely simple to integrate into your existing theme.

Building a good blog takes more than just installing WordPress and choosing a theme.

You need to decide how you want to interact with your users, and what additional functions your blog should have!

WordPress themes are what make it possible for you to set your blog apart from all the other WordPress sites out there.

Choosing the right theme is an important part of the WordPress process, but once you’ve chosen that theme you’ll need to get it installed!
