    Great tutorial, but what if you’ve already established comments on previous posts, added media files, etc. Will all that be lost (after a year’s worth of blogging) when you activate a new theme?

    I’ve been wanting to change the appearance of my theme but I’m afraid of loosing all the content that’s already there. I’m also afraid of loosing comments from current giveaway posts I have.

    Can you help?
