On Free WordPress Themes and Changing WordPress Themes
Changing WordPress themes is very easy. First, download a free WordPress theme that you want (Google for the keyword “Free WordPress Themes” and see how many millions of pages will come up). If your blog is self-hosted, then you could upload the downloaded theme folder to your server vis FTP. In my case I use Filezilla as my FTP client. Some people find this difficult but if you have setup your Filezilla FTP configuration properly, then you can proceed without a hitch. Second, upload your chosen theme to your themes folder (usually it’s the /public_html/wp-content/themes/ folder in your server). After that, login to your WordPress dashboard and under the Presentation tab, you can choose the theme you want.
Sounds easy, right? Correct, it’s easy. However, there are a few minor issues with changing WordPress themes. After changing themes, all the customizations you’ve done on your old theme’s templates will be gone!
I know some of you have customized your heading, sidebar or even footer. Changing themes will remove these customizations because your new theme has its own set of templates like the header.php, sidebar.php, footer.php, etcetera.
This makes me feel reluctant to change the theme of this blog. Maybe I should have it in maintenance mode for an hour or two and experiment on some free WordPress themes I like later or in the near future.

Pinoy Around the World,
Maglagay ka ng TEXT WIDGET or PHP WIDGET in your sidebar (kung available sa wordpress-hosted sites like yours) then paste there the code of ENTRECARD. If you can edit your sidebar.php (SIDEBAR TEMPLATE) in your free hosting account, pwede mo ring ilagaya dun but if you are a serious blogger, you better buy a web hosting account so you can control everything and can manage your traffic more efficiently. Mas maraming benefits if you have your own web hosting account pero may bayad definitely.
