7. THEME
Choose the
way you want
your website
to look
Your theme controls the visual layout and
appearance of your site. There are 100’s
of themes for you to choose from
help.edublogs.org/change-theme/
Choose a suitable theme – something
professional looking and fairly minimal
in design so it doesn’t distract from the
excellent images you are going to
share during the course. A white
background is better than any other
colour in our opinion. We recommend
a theme from the "Portfolio” section.
