  I am using Paperpunch for my current website nassaupta.org.
  I want to use a newer one called Apostrophe 2, but I want to first test it out to see if it’s easier to use than Paperpunch, which I’ve been using for years.
  I have use the “live demo” but I really want to play around with the new theme before I switch my old theme.
  There was an old post from 2011 that mentions a “private mirror blog” or a “test blog” but the links do not work anymore. Here is the link:
  https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/is-thee-a-way-to-customize-a-test-theme-before-activation/

  This sounds like what I want to do so is there any way to “update” that thread?

  Thank you.

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

  Hi fstat!
  I tried to find “live chat” but can’t find it. I think I sent an email instead.
  Where is the live chat located?
  Thanks!

  I can confirm that your email was sent to our Business Site support system. If you do nothing you will get a reply to that via email.

  It can be the case that if chat is in high demand your request may go to email, but if you if a member of staff is online, then livechat will be available here: https://wordpress.com/help/contact

  Essentially if chat is available the button to send your message will say “Chat with us”
