How to modify the following technical components on a WordPress website.

1. How to Change the WordPress Theme

To change your WordPress theme, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard (e.g., https://yourname.dragonteach.com/wp-admin).
2. Click on Appearance > Themes.
3. Click “Add New” to browse available themes.
4. Use the search bar to find a theme you like (e.g., Astra, Twenty Twenty-Four).

2. How to Use HTML in WordPress Blog Posts

In this post, I’ll show examples of how HTML tags like lists, headings, and emphasis work.

Below is an example of an unordered list in HTML.

<ul>
  <li>Item One</li>
  <li>Item Two</li>
  <li>Item Three</li>
</ul>

Below is an example of an ordered list in HTML.

<!-- Ordered List -->
<ol>
  <li>Step One</li>
  <li>Step Two</li>
  <li>Step Three</li>
</ol>

This HTML snippet uses the <em> tag to emphasize a word in a sentence. This usually makes the word italic and helps highlight important information.

<p>This is an <em>important</em> word to emphasize.</p>

The following code demonstrates how to use heading tags in HTML. <h1> is the main title or heading, while <h2> is a subheading beneath it.

<h1>This is a Main Heading</h1>
<h2>This is a Subheading</h2>

h1 {

  text-align: center;
}

p {
  font-size: 16px;
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
