Blog duplicated?
-
Copying a blog to a new blog under construction? I would like to make a “duplicate copy” of one of my blogs using another theme? Is this possible? Will attributes be lost? Please advise. Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Why would you do this? Do you intend to make the mirror blog with duplicate content private? If not then read what Google has to say about deliberately creating duplicate content across domains https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en
Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change 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:
