# Help testing a theme

 * For my [blog/website](http://www.acomicbookblog.com) I’m wanting to start editing
   a new theme but don’t want to have to activate it on the site during the editing.
   Is there any way I can work on the new theme without activating it (not activating
   the new one until it’s completely ready?)
 * Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

 * Use the preview theme plugin.
