  Hi, I just changed to a new theme, but don’t like it. How do I change it back to original, or to another theme?

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

  Hello,
  Go to My Sites, then select Themes. Browse and choose the theme you want. Some are free, some are available for purchase. Click Demo to check one out or click Activate (or Purchase) to apply it to your blog.

  I used Google search and looked in the cache. You previously used the Spectrum theme. https://wordpress.com/themes/spectrum/

  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.
