12. APPEARANCE (STAGE 3)
There are many many themes in wordpress.
Some are free and some you need to pay in
order to use.
Hover over the theme which allows you to see
theme details, preview your web page in the
chosen theme and activate the theme.
For today, choose the superhero theme.
My suggestion is you start with the superhero
theme and then after you build some pages, play
with different themes and then decide which one
you like. You can change from time to time.
