You can, of course use, any theme we have available but only a few will display thumbnails on Categories/Archives pages. No data is lost when changing themes. You can go here Dashboard > Appearance > Themes and select a theme and activate it as many times as you choose to. This is the link to the Themes Showcase http://theme.wordpress.com/ After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets re-install them where you want them to appear.

I see that I need a theme that is correct for an "art" blog so that entire posts will show on categories (also on pages as i am thinking i need to make a static home page and then pages). If I change the theme now....will the things I have put in transfer over? Thanks so much!

Yikes! I must have looked at the wrong blog. Twenty Ten doesn't display Thumbnails on Categories/Archives page though.

@elizabethdetroit

only the narrative and not the picture in the post shows up

As your blog is an "Art" blog you may want to select a theme that does display thumbnails on Categories pages > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/25/full-posts-in-archive-pages/

I can't quite figure out 'categories'. For example, in my first post, I assigned and clicked the 'drawing' category. A sidebar for that category does appear. However, when I click the sidebar only the narrative and not the picture in the post shows up. I've tried multiple times creating categories, but the items don't appear in the categories. I tried making the 'uncategorized' the parent category and putting other categories under that but that didn't work either. What am I missing? Thanks! Beth
