  You can’t delete a theme without choosing a new one, so just go to the dashboard themes page and choose one. You can delete posts from the dashboard Posts page using the bulk editor, and Pages from the dashboard Pages page.

  By default the front page of your blog displays all posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/

  You can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.

  Here’s how to permanently delete Trash >

  Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes
  browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate”
  or type in the name of the theme you want to use and
  click the “activate” link 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 you do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade, which it appears that you two have not purchased.

  All of the very same functions can be accessed from your dashboard.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General
