### Test Email

Discourse relies heavily on email for signups and conversation notifications. **Test your email to make sure it is working!** Visit [the admin email settings](/admin/email), then enter an email address in the "email address to test" field and click <kbd>send test email</kbd>.

One of the default topics is [Welcome to Discourse](/t/welcome/6). This topic is pinned globally, so it will appear on the homepage for all new users. Your welcome topic is important because it is the first thing you visitors will see:

### Customize CSS / Headers
|
||||
### Customize Colors
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify custom CSS and custom HTML headers/footers to give your Discourse forum a unique look.
|
||||
To quickly give your Discourse a distinctive look, without having to edit or understand CSS, create a new color scheme via [Customize, Colors](/admin/customize/colors).
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the admin console, select "Customize".
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create a new site customization.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Enter a customization:
|
||||
- Custom CSS styles go in the "Stylesheet" section.
|
||||
- Custom HTML headers go in the "Header" section.
|
||||
- Ditto for mobile, except these only show up on detected mobile devices.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Enable:** If you wish to have your styles and header take effect on the site, check the "Enable" checkbox, then click "Save". This is also known as "live reloading", which will cause your changes to take effect immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Preview:** If you wish to preview your changes before saving them, click the "preview" link at the bottom of the screen. Your changes will be applied to the site as they are currently saved in the "Customize" panel. If you aren't happy with your changes and wish to revert, simply click the "Undo Preview" link.

Here is some example HTML that would go into the "Header" section within "Customize":

||||
You can also specify custom CSS and custom HTML headers/footers to further customize the look. One common request is a navigation header that takes you back to the parent site. Here is some example HTML to put in [Customize, CSS and HTML Customizations](/admin/customize/css_html) under "Header":
