Reset a site to complete theme default
-
How can you reset a site completely to the theme default? I want to take away all the content and make the site look as if I just created a wordpress.com account and picked a theme. I’ve deleted my pages and posts but it still doesn’t look right. Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no reset button you can click. You can go here and remove whatever you added:
Appearance > Header
Appearance > Background
Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
Site Title and Tagline > Settings > GeneralIf you don’t have a lot of content you can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.

To start again you can use the step by step tutorial Staff have linked to on the bottom of your Admin page at http://learn.wordpress.com

Lastly not that your blog is private and Volunteers cannot view it. We cannot work in the dark.
