Changing the Look of Your Site

Squarespace has 15, attractive, well-designed themes you can choose from
as you develop your Web site. Each theme has 4 variants, which gives you
some 60 template possibilities.
To change the look of your site, follow these steps:
1. Open your home page.
2. Click the Style Editing link in the upper-right corner of the page.
The Appearance Editor appears, as shown in Figure 3-9.
The Appearance Editor enables you to select variances to the basic
theme. Or, if you want a completely different look, you can change the
theme altogether.
3. Click the Switch Templates button.
The Appearance Editor now displays thumbnails of different themes that
you can use.
4. Select the theme that looks most appealing.
Browse through the designs until you find the one you want to use.
You can click any of the templates to preview it. (In my case, I chose
Periodika!.)
5. Select the variant you want to use.
You can click each of the variants to see a preview of the look as it
would appear on your home page.
I tested each, but settled on Dirty Rollers.
6. Click the Enable Style button to make the change.
Squarespace updates your Web site with the new design.
