But I'm worried about losing any formatting I've done for Spring Loaded. Also, if I switch over, what are the free features of that theme? How do I find them? I'm currently using WordPress.com and I don't want to spend any money until I decide to switch to WordPress.org and self-hosting.

It's not possible to switch premium themes between blogs, however, since you're within the 30-day refund limit, you can initiate a refund for the the theme on the hurricanelil blog, and re-purchase the theme on the kentuckymoonherbals blog.

To initiate a refund for Gridspace, head to the Dashboard -> Store -> My Upgrades. You'll see a button to cancel your purchase.

If you have further questions, please post them over in the Premium Themes forums and one of our premium themes gurus would be happy to help you. :)

Lousy browsers (call that Explorer) may not take heed when an image is resized by the theme, especially if the image isn't hosted in your blog. You should upload all images to your blog instead of inserting images hosted elsewhere, and ideally you should downsize them in an image editing application before uploading them. The one you must definitely change is the logo you've added to your sidebar; sidebar width in Bouquet is 285 pixels.

For the first time I worked on my blog from a PC and I noticed that the photos on some of the pages were extremely oversized. When I came home to resize them on my MAC, the photos were fine. Does that mean those who view my blog on a PC see oversized photos? I'm not sure if this a 'theme' issue or 'computer' issue.

That paragraph says that the sidebar in Bouquet is optional.

I'm so glad I checked; the theme I was interested in switching to does not offer widgets on static pages. My homepage is static, therefore, anyone coming to my blog would not see links to the other categories and additional content. I guess I'll just stay with my current theme.

I've seen a couple of new themes that I want to possibly change to, however, when I preview them, I don't see a sidebar. I have a lot of info on my current sidebar. My question is: If I switch to the new theme, will I lose all of the info, photos, links, which I have on my current sidebar and have to start from scratch? Or, will all of my current sidebar info automatically switch over? I would prefer to just stay with what I have if there is any possibility of me losing any info or having 'new issues' with the new theme. Thanks

Now the grey line is higher, and the nav bar is lower, and so there's extra white space.

So I guess now the question is, can I move up the posts in order to take up some of that white space, even though the nav bar is there on the right?

The 30px of padding top and 15px of padding bottom you added directly to h1 made the title div expand in height and caused the line and the menu to shift down by 45px (30px + 15px).

So the nav bar is now below the line, however, it's a few pixels lower than I 'd like it. I tried looking through the nav bar code you gave me to see if I could adjust that, but didn't see anything. Any recommendations?
