Changing Blog Theme

It’s that time of year again, and what better way to get into the spirit than to spice up your blog! You can choose to select a holiday theme template provided by your blogging platform or create your own by customizing your background. The choice is yours!

To change the theme in Edublogs, watch this short video.  When searching for a Christmas theme, I typed “holiday” into the search bar. 

(If using a different blogging platform, check the support tutorials provided in the help section.)

Changing the background:

Look for a Creative Commons image that you like and download it to your computer. Once it is saved to your computer, upload it to your blog by using the “Add Media” button.  Here is a tutorial on creating custom backgrounds explaining the process. Homeschool Towers also made this amazing Thinglink on “How to Change Your Blog Background.” I found it to be extremely helpful.

Here are some links to Creative Commons images where you can find festive backgrounds to upload:
