WordPress for Nonprofit Websites – Lesson Four: Customize your WordPress Theme

http://nonprofitally.com/ – Now that your WordPress theme is installed it is time to start adding your content and customizing some of the theme settings. Be sure to have your content prepared (your mission statement, board member info, a banner photo for the top, etc.)

I will walk you through all you need to do. This is a longer lesson, so it might be nice to have a cup of coffee or tea with you as you get started with this lesson.

The theme we are using is at: https://wordpress.org/themes/zerif-lite/
