Dashboard Once you sign up for WordPress you will be able to log into what is called your dashboard. This is where all the magic happens. The first time you sign into your dashboard you might feel a little overwhelmed. Don’t fret. The dashboard is the grand central station of your blog. From here you will have access to your blog posts, the different pages of your blog, links to and from your blog, different media you are using, comments to your blog, and of course your WordPress design. WordPress design falls under the “Appearance†section on your dashboard and there is much you can do with it. Free WordPress Themes Custom WordPress Themes To get a custom WordPress theme you can go about it in two different ways. In the first option you can choose a free WordPress theme and tweak it to your liking. One way to tweak it is to utilize the various widgets that are available with that particular theme.
