  Hi.
  Is it possible to change the theme of my blog, without affecting the contents, or redoing whole blog from the start. Thank you, Ivan

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

  You should be able to change themes easily.

  Do realize that if you choose a theme which is narrower (or wider) than your current one, some formatting on posts and pages will get changed.

  And depending which other theme you use, some or all of the widgets may be moved to the “inactive widgets” module so you will have to drag them back into your sidebar.

  You can preview what your site will look like:
  http://ivankovacik.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php
  dashboard—>appearance—>themes

  or read details and features here:
  http://wordpress.com/themes/

  A suggestion about experimenting with themes and various features of each:
  get yourself another free blog to use for testing.

  Make the second blog private, and export then import your real blog into it so you can study what happens to your post and page formatting, what new and interesting features an different theme has, and so on. If it is private you can play around as much as you like and your regular readers will never see it if something goes wrong.
