  I have an existing blog on WordPress. I would like to ‘start fresh’, meaning:
  1. Redesign the blog, keeping the same name/domain
  2. Choose which of the existing posts to keep in the new design
  3. Archive all the other posts so that I have access to them (but they do not appear in the ‘fresh’ blog).
  What would be the best way for me to do this? Thanks in advance for your help!

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello there,

  Happy to help you with this.

  The first step would be to pick a theme, which can be done via Appearance > Themes.

  Next, you would then want to go through the posts via Posts and you bulk edit posts draft if need be: https://wordpress.com/support/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit

  It is possible to set the site to private whilst all of this takes place: https://wordpress.com/support/settings/privacy-settings/
