How to Brand a WordPress CMS for a Designer
After designing a theme for the WordPress content management system (CMS), you'll want to label and brand the theme to give it a name and provide author credits. You can do this by editing the style sheet you've created for the theme. Once you've properly branded the theme, it is ready for inclusion in the WordPress repository.

Tips & Warnings
The "Tag" field is designed for the WordPress repository -- adding the field is only necessary if you want to add the theme to the repository. When typing the tags, use theme terms such as "single column" or "two columns," or "options panel."
