Questions on resuscitating an old blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’d like to resuscitate a blog I started a few years ago and have done next to nothing with. It hasn’t been edited in years. I have some questions:

    1. How do I change the password to blog?

    2. The Vigilance theme has been retired. How do I change to another – is it just a straight forward switch or do I have to recreate the few existing pages from scratch? Or will I still be able to use the theme for the time-being as a grandfathered-in thing?

    3. I’ve lost the header drawing I made when my peripheral hard drive permanently fainted. How do I find the file on the WordPress site to copy? I am not allowed to right-click it to save it. I’d hate to have to resort to a screen capture with a possible resulting loss of resolution.

    Thank you for your help.

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

    3 ) Here is you header image: http://ewert7diaspora.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/cropped-header-920-x-1802.jpg – right click on it

    2 ) just change the Theme – your pages and posts are safe – you might need to retrieve inactive Widgets from the bottom of the Widgets page

    1 ) try – Dashboard >> Users >> Personal Settings >> change password is at the bottom of the page

    Thank you, auxclass.

    Password changed.

    Header right-clicked & saved.

    I’m not sure what to replace Vigilance with. It seems to meet the small needs I have, so I am sorry that I have to loose it. Research required, I guess.
