Step 2: Apply Your Theme to a Test Site
When you work in the Weebly Code Editor, you'll see your changes reflected on a web site as you make them. So let's create a test site that we can use for our theme.
- Follow the instructions here to create your test site.
Don't use a template, or copy an existing site. - In the Cloud Admin, click Edit Site.
- Choose any theme as you create the site - we'll be changing it
We'll be making changes to how blogs display, so you need to create a blog post. Be sure to give it a title. Follow the instructions here and save the post (don't publish/post it).
Now let's apply the Base theme.
- Click the Theme tab.
- Click Change Theme.
- At the top right, click Import Theme.
- Click Select a Theme and upload the zip you created named MyTheme.zip.
- In the Theme Gallery, click the Choose link to apply your theme.
