  I’d like to make a copy of my blog so that I can mess around with some alternate themes. Is there a way to do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The site linked to your name does not seem to be a WordPress.COM hosted blog – therefore:

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  Yes, create a new test blog on your account, mark it as “private” and then export your content from the main blog and import it into the test blog. I suggest using a nonsense name/URL for the test site (something like “mytest7843” so as not to take a name/URL someone might want for their blog.
