We like the themes from Blossom Themes. We literally have one of their themes on each of our sites. You can see their name and URL in the footer. The free themes are so good they can be used as is but upgrading to a paid theme gives you access to additional features and allows you to support a great company.
Step 4: Customize Your Blog

WordPress has a lot of customization options, so take your time and experiment with different settings until you’re happy with the look and feel of your blog.
There are also plugins for extra features like the cart in our menu, custom login pages, e-commerce, custom forms, and so much more.

Once your blog is set up and customized, it’s time to start creating content. WordPress makes it easy to create blog posts and pages, and you can add images and videos to your content as well.
