You can adjust your site and update it frequently to keep your ideas fresh and relevant. Keep reading for detailed instructions after the jump.
Steps

- The default selection is 'Blank Template' and other popular templates are listed. If you are unhappy, click 'Browse Gallery for More' and find a template for you.
- Name your website and change the URL if you'd like.
- Click on 'Choose a theme' and click on the background you'd like your website to have. If you are unhappy with them, there are more options.
