    Hi,
    Ive inherited a website buit in wordpress. Its pretty good (but really out of date) but I want to refresh the look and feel of it by applying a new theme and adding some new items.
    – can you recommend a template for a Village Traders website. It will be used as by users as an information source for address, phone numbers, articles on traders, upcoming events and promotions?
    – can i add social media to the website, fb, instagram?
    – can i add a contact management system to the website?
    – do i need to do any coding to make changes? I assume not but want to make sure
    – what/how can I add the ability for people to leave comments about the shopping strip?
    Many thanks Maryanne

    Hi Mezcof,

    You are asked a very broad question that’s not easy to answer.

    Templates are very subjective as to what’s go and what will work for you. You can browse themes here on wordpress.org http://wordpress.org/themes/
    or there are many independ providers of themes and theme market places you can look for an appropriate theme.

    If you want to add social media icons to your site, these is generally provided but the theme. If you are looking at adding social sharing buttons, you’ll need to find a plugin. Jetpack might be a good option: http://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/

    I don’t think you’ll need to make code changes, but that depends on how things are currently setup.

    Comments are built into wordpress, and you should be able to “allow comments” where you need it to allow people to comment.

    Hope that will get you on your way. In the future you’d benefit in these support forums but asking specific questions, and telling us what you’ve already tried.
