Added new theme by mistake
-
My blog has been fallow for a few months. I was looking through different themes and installed a new one by mistake. As a consequence, my blog is all messed up now. I cannot remember the name of the theme I was using.
I looked through my dashboard and searched help but I can’t find a way to revert back to my previous theme. Is there a way to do this, or at least a way to find out the name of the previous theme?
Thanks !
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I searched Google’s cache. The them you used before was Origin.
Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/ on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.
Note that every theme will have a detailed theme description page with set up instructions and a live demo site page that you can consult. Here’s an example:
https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/origin/

Thank you very much for the help and the useful links. I was able to get my blog back as it was in no time. Thanks again…
