# Platform Theme Choice?

 * I am a NEWBIE digging into wordpress.
 * I’m at the point where I am looking at Themes, free mostly. Did view some paid
   options, but not using that.
    I am trying to work with Platform. Not sure if 
   that is a good idea or not, but with so many choices, i really wasn’t sure where
   to begin with a theme. I also downloaded Suffusion and i have 10 week, or something
   like that.
 * So, I’m t-r-ying to move around in Plaform and am able to do some things, but
   I dont know how to make the site active. Not published, but an active working
   site.
    How do I do that?

 * What makes you think that the site isn’t active?

 * LOL! I like your username!
 * I think I’m not explaining it well enough.
    The site is active, when I type in
   my address, there it is.
 * But the things I have started with designing the site is not showing up there,
   or on a “working site”. From what little experience I have had with website work,
   when I am logged into a person’s site, i’m in the working part of the site, and
   when I make changes to the site, I can see it there on the working site, and 
   then when I’m ready I “publish” those changes.
    Well, I can’t find the “working
   site”. All I can find is the menu of platform, and then the different settings
   I can change. I make those changes, but where can I view it? And when I press
   the “view it” link, I just get a default page. Does that make sense?
