• Scroll down to see the previews of the available themes and choose either the Use for modern browsers or Use for old browsers button depending on what you think the most common browser version of your users will be. (IE and IE7 are examples of "older browsers")
• The next screen will provide information about the theme. Click Continue to select this theme.
