Start over
-
I don’t want to delete my entire site, but I want to start over. Can you clear what I’ve done so far. Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The good news is that you can delete it quickly and easily yourself. See here http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
However, if you want to wait in a lengthy queue for Staff to do this for you, they can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
If you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention and post again into this thread to:
(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible. -
Here is some help for starting again.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions like this one https://wordpress.com/themes/mistylake/ and a live demo site like this one https://mistylakedemo.wordpress.com/
You will find the theme page link on the footer of your front page of your site at http://amandacascio.wordpress.com/
re: the front page error message found on every new .wordpress.com blog
There is nothing wrong with your blog.
By default, the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post, not a page, the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
For creating a post in the New editor see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
For creating a page in the new editor see here

The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

I want to empty my site, not delete it. I want to remove all the pages, theme, etc., and add new info.

Yes, I do understand that. Did you understand my reply?
Ths is how to delete the content all by yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
All you have is empty Pages so that will take less than a minute or two to do. Dashboard > Pages > All Pages
Hover over the Page titles and click the Trash link.http://thewellhandofgracedotcom.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
Staff do not change themes for us, bloggers. We do that all by ourselves too.
re: switching themes
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 the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
