  I’ve just tried several themes and none of them apply to my blog. The current theme looks horrid. Please help

  oh, I bought a domain. NoSingleMamaDrama.com, which I haven’t pointed to http://nosinglemamadrama.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/single-parent-adoption/. I’m having the issue with @ wordpress.com

  When previewing a theme, are you clicking the “activate theme” link in the upper right of the preview pane?

  What browser are you using? Safari 2 has issues with the theme preview/activate window and the activate link does not appear.

  What’s the issue? What themes have you tried and what was the nature of the failure? And whatever you do, don’t point your domain name at a single post.

  Unless it’s a problem with that specific post.

  I think I’d start with this FAQ http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/why-is-my-sidebar-at-the-bottom-of-my-posts/

  Also – have you edited the CSS? If so, when you change themes, you need to delete all that stuff from the CSS window.
