#### Introduction
This blog post is a continuation of my series on Wordpress and in this blog post we'll learn about Wordpress themes, their uses, examples and how to get them.

#### What are Wordpress Themes?
A Wordpress theme is a collection of template and stylesheet files that determines and defines  the entire design and appearance of your Wordpress website. Themes are used to change the way Wordpress websites are displayed without changing the underlying software. It's possible for two users that are making use of the same Wordpress website to have different appearances for their Wordpress website.


##### Examples of Wordpress Themes.

#### How do I get them?
Below are websites where you can find free and paid themes for download and installation on your Wordpress website. Paid themes always have more features and less spam or unwanted code that might affect your website negatively. It's always advisable to go for a paid theme based on user reviews when making a choice of theme for your website.

- [Wordpress.com](https://wordpress.com/themes)
- [Wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/themes/)
- [Themeforest](https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress)
- [Elegant Themes](http://elegantthemes.com)
- [Just Free Themes](https://justfreethemes.com/)

Also, from your Wordpress website appearance/ theme interface, you can easily install a Wordpress theme into your website. I'll make a tutorial subsequently on how to install themes on your Wordpress website.
