   Hi,

   I have used wordpress.com for quite a while.

   Now I have ventured into using wordpress.org, so I am hosting the blog myself. My host has a quickinstall option, so I have been able to automatically upload the software, and so in that sense I can just get posting.

   But there are only two .org themes that come supplied with .org to start with. I know I can download further themes, but I'd like to have a go at editing the existing themes for myself. (ie. WordPress default 1.6).

   I have a grasp of HTML and CSS, but really need a bit more grounding in wordpress coding before I start hacking up code and (trying to) change things.

   For now I'd just like to try out some simple changes - add an image to the header, change background color schemes and bits like this.

   So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good online tutorial or site which takes you through the basic codes, explains things, and gives a good grounding for beginners to get started on editing wordpress themes.

   Thanks

   You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

   This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

   If you don't understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.
