Reverting to previous theme
-
I accidental messed up my theme with all its widgets and bells and whistles when I tried a new theme. Is there any way to revert? Now that I changed the theme back to the Theme I had before, I lost all the extras that I added over a long time.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The good news is that you did not lose anything at all. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate” or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

You’re welcome. All you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear on the new theme.

Yes, the Widgets are easy to add, all the work was in the links images and feeds that they contained, which I am sad to say has been lost.

Look at Google’s cache of the old site, and compare (before its gone):
