  Hi
  If I activate a new theme, will the site automatically publish with the new theme or will I still need to publish the site? I want to make changes to the site, but I don’t want the changes to publish until the whole site is finished.

  (One more thing)
  And can I make a new website for another account (for their domain) using my account?

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

  Activating a new theme will not change your privacy settings for the site or publish anything on its own.

  You can certainly have multiple websites attached to one account; I have over 5 and they are very easy to manage from a central account.

  Thanks Geoffrey.

  I wasn’t sure, as I’m used to desktop software – I’m still getting used to online builders!

  But I’m glad I can make changes to the site, without worrying about it being published.

  Thanks again.

  You’re welcome! No worries, it can take some getting used to for changes like that :)
