I can't find a simple answer to this. I want to change themes. If I do will I lose all my old blogs or are they just automatically cached and transferred to the new one? Thanks so much, I'm sure someone has a simple answer.
The blog I need help with is alcamiapayne.wordpress.com.
All your Posts and Pages are safe if you change Themes -
I've accidentally changed my theme whilst attempting to start a new blog with a different theme. Upon immediately changing back to the original theme, I found that I had lost all my widgets - so maybe, beware. (My old blogs seem to be in place). If I resolve this issue without repeating all the customisation (if there is a quick fix), I shall report back here.

auxclass is correct. No data is ever lost during a theme change. The widgets were not "lost". They migrated to the Inactive Widgets box. When you change themes there is a default sidebar display. You can locate any widgets you formerly used by going to your "Inacative Widgtes" box and repositioning them.
Only reporting back because I promised that I would. I see that timethief has answered your question, and my own question as well. All I have to add is a shout and a 'Thank You' to the people who help.
It IS alarming when it happens, but usually someone has gone through it before and it's in the forums somewhere.
Hello everyone
Just a resounding big thank you for all of you who posted in reply to my initial question, it's been really helpful. I know it takes time to write a reply so once again thanks, what a wonderful bunch you are.
