 * Hi, first of all, this is in no way related to my previous question. I wanted
   to ask you how to get the Customize option to work with a custom theme. My website
   is at [http://www.mixedniches.com](http://www.mixedniches.com) and I would ask
   you to look at it.
 * For example, when I add a title to the WordPress Customize application, nothing
   changes. My website’s title stays as it is.
 * If I wanted to add a new page, it does not show up in the top-right navigation
   bar. How can I _sync_ WordPress with this theme so that I can Customize it in
   the simple Customize option instead of CSS, as I can’t edit CSS for an extra 
   page.

 * Have a look at [Otto’s tutorial](http://ottopress.com/2012/how-to-leverage-the-theme-customizer-in-your-own-themes/)
   on precisely this subject.

 * I’m sorry if I’m being a pain, but I don’t understand a word of that, I’m also
   not familiar with PHP(I only know html, css & jscript). Where do I access wp-
   customize? I have no idea.
 * Could you perhaps simplify it step-by-step? Thanks.

 * I’m sorry but that’s about as simple as it gets. The tutorial does break it down
   step-by-step.
