    If I upgrade to a paid theme, will I lose all my posts so far? A peer was kind enough to direct me to the tutorials (I’m brand new to blogging and found where to learn how to set up my blog), but I wanted to know, if I upgrade to another theme, if I will really mess up my blog?

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

    See here please. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/ The answer is of course not. :) You can quickly and easily change themes 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 and browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate” or type in the name of the theme you want to use and
    click the “activate” link when it appears.

    After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.
