# Theme Licensing!

 * I have decided to code my own theme for my wordpress website, since I know CSS,
   HTML, etc. pretty well and would love to continue practicing my coding skills.
 * I just finished all the graphics for my new theme and I read over the “build 
   your own theme” [support page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development) 
   provided by WordPress.org. Anyway, I read the first few paragraphs and the first
   thing this page mentions is the stylesheet details that are needed, including
   a license.
 * As someone who DOES NOT want to sell or give out the blog’s theme at all–it’s
   specific to just my blog, do I need the license, the tags, etc. etc.? I am just
   concerned for all of this work that I didn’t know about (and honestly didn’t 
   research beforehand either), and my blog is now “down for revamping”.
 * I’m not really sure where to go from here. If anyone could help out that’d be
   great!
