  This is my old blog, which is no longer hoster anywhere:

  I’d like to make my new WP blog look as much like it as possible.
  I used to be quite familiar with CSS but it’s been several years (but I’m willing to learn again). Any suggestions as to what theme to start with. The blog I need help with is here:

  Sorry, I should have posted in themes.

  The first step would be to find a theme that offers similar features and layout to your old blog. Head to the theme showcase, click on the Find a Theme button and then pick some options and browse the themes on offer. For starters you might try selecting “three columns”, “left sidebar” and “right sidebar” from the columns section.

  Once you’ve found a theme you think you can work with feel free to ask any specific CSS questions regarding modifications and tweaks you might want to include. Remember you can preview CSS changes in the customiser via Appearance > Customize > CSS for free before deciding to upgrade.
