A WordPress theme is a group of files (graphics, style sheets, and code) that define the overall look of your blog or website. Themes can control something as big as the structure of your site; or just a moment as the colours of your link.

Instead of simply giving the look and feel of your blog, the theme lets you control the presentation of your site. For example, suppose you write a blog about food, but you also own an online store. The right theme can display your blog posts in a certain way while providing a completely different layout of pages in your store.
