  • This is a good tutorial. At first, it was so hard to change customized/better themes but Wordpress platform made it easy.

    Hello. Thank you for the visit and tip but I came across this tip with FTP methods but still I cant manipulate the new theme since the hosting was made through wordpress panel. I quite made a mistake instead of getting a domain first before setting up a blog. However, I still hope that you have a tip to make through adding a new theme with a wordpress hosted.
