Adding A Custom Theme to Your WordPress Blog

Although other things are more important for the success of your blog, the design can also be an important factor. A theme will give your blog the look you want and also separate it from all the other look-a-like sites.

There are many WordPress themes on the internet that are free to use and they’re also easy to install. If you’re using a free theme there’s no need to worry about someone hijacking it, it’s a sure bet that many others have downloaded the same theme anyway.

But, if you’re going to pay money to have a theme designed especially for your website or niche, then you need to take extra steps to protect it!

Make sure that you set your theme folder to no permission, it’s also a good idea to do the same for any image folders that you have. If the folders are left to give all permission, anyone will be able to browse the contents and take what they like!
