    Hi there – Do you mean the theme? There isn’t any way to import/export the theme and widgets. You should simply select the same theme on the new blog and set your widgets up again.

    If this doesn’t answer your question, can you please link me to the sites and explain a bit more what you’re trying to do? I’m happy to help!

    I really need some help!
    I got the copy of previous post done, which I thought would make my new post easier – – but it hasn’t, in that I am trying to add multiple images that are not all in a line down the page!
    And I think I remember someone told me there was a way to do a blog other than on the page I am working and it let’s me see what it looks like when posted?! And that makes adding multiple images, etc much easier.
    The link to the page I am working on is: http://pitzersart.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=452&action=edit
    It is 12:30 my time as I post this, and I will be out until about 1:30 my time.
    But would sure appreciate some help.
    One of my biggest challenges is trying to put 2 or three small images across the page, so as to take up less space and not have a long string of images running down the page.
    I tried building the blog on Word and then importing, but it lost all of my images and more.
    Thanks.

    Hi there,

    For your image issue, try using a gallery instead of inserting individual images:
    Gallery

    A gallery will fix your images in a thumbnail grid or other format, so they don’t move around on you. Otherwise, it’s kind of hard to get them to sit side-by-side without one dropping down below.

    And I think I remember someone told me there was a way to do a blog other than on the page I am working and it let’s me see what it looks like when posted?!

    Try previewing the post by clicking the gray Preview button:

    Were you wanting to copy a post from your same blog into a new post? You can easily do that with the Copy a Post tool:
    Copy a Post

    Does this help? Let me know if you have more questions about any of this. :)
