Pictures, images, video, and audio files can greatly enhance the content of a
post by adding visual and/or auditory effects to the words that you’ve written.
Look right above the formatting buttons on the Write Post page and you see an Add Media toolbar.
Have a look again; it’s pretty small, but it’s there! The Add Media toolbar has four small buttons:
✓ Add an Image
✓ Add Video
✓ Add Audio
✓ Add Media
✓ Add Poll
As of this writing, if you don’t have any blog space upgrades purchased for
your account, you can only upload images (jpg, jpeg, png, gif), documents
(pdf, doc) and presentations (ppt) files. If you’ve purchased a space
upgrade, you can upload other files — audio (mp3, mp4a, wav) and video
(avi, mp4, mpg, mov, wmv) files. Chapter 5 has information on the upgrades
that are available for your WordPress.com blog.

WordPress distributes some beautiful themes from its original site. These are six in number, and are easy to experiment with. The URL for downloading these themes is http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/. You will find the Green Marine, Blix, Connections, Ocadia, Pool, and Almost Spring themes here. Among them, the Green Marine, Blix, Connections, and Almost Spring themes are very popular. Take a look at the WordPress theme-download section. One interesting thing is that all these themes are two-column themes, which is the most popular theme format.

Let us find some themes for our use. These themes are listed in mainly two categories, two-column themes and three-column themes. However, there are also one-column themes and four-column themes available in the community. Some of these themes are minimal and text-based; some of them are graphical. We will also see some of the very common themes well reputed by the WordPress community.There is another theme browser available called the WRC theme browser. This browser also enables you to view the look of every skin, but in a small grid, so you can view more than 16 themes at a time. You can also sort them by different options like one-column themes, multiple-column themes, alphabetically, widget-ready, plug-in required, date of publication, sidebars, etc. This is a very useful option. The URL of this theme browser is http://themes.wordpress.net
