  I have several existing wordpress.com sites that I support: here are two:
  https://martinphillipsphotography.wordpress.com/
  https://cvillejazz.org/
  One has a domain name associated with it. How can I select a new WP.com theme, transfer existing information into it and keep the existing URL and/or Domain name? Is there a step by step document detailing this procedure? Thanks. Marty Phillips

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

  re: switching themes

  Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

  If you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them act.

  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.
