 * Hi,
 * I am new to WordPress and have just installed it. I have successfully done so.
   I have attempted to customize a theme based on default customizing options(no
   coding changes), however did not find any joy as the web page hardly resembles
   the look of the theme. Is it possible to get a website just like how it appears
   in the picture of the theme or do I have to follow specific nuances while developing
   a website in word press.
    Thanks.

 * Are you talking about the way the theme was structured, or the individual images
   that were in the screen-shot (or demo) of the theme? Many themes provide a picture
   of how their theme can look using stock images that they use throughout in order
   to show you the visual appeal that it can offer. However unless they provide 
   an option for importing the dummy content you will need to find your own images
   and fix the layout in the settings (which should be doable) Let me know if you
   need help.

 * Hi
    Thank you very much for your reply. I was traveling and hence did not have
   internet access. I understand there are limitations to the way themes are customized
   and are dependent upon the particular theme. I have used vantage theme and it
   has worked. However I am using MinAmaze and I have tried to create a child theme
   but it is not displaying properly.

 * The child theme is working properly now, had to change the path in the import
   url statement.
    Thanks
