    first off, i am a newbie to WordPress but understand the basics from doing lots of reading the past week.

    i just upgraded to version 2.6 today and i uploaded the theme that is compatible with it after i deleted the old theme (or so i thought). i had done little minor things over the past week (adding 3 test posts, added color to my header and added the widgets at bottom), but because of the upgrade and new upload, i want to do a clean slate so basically starting from scratch. my posts from the old theme is appearing and some of the layout has changed.

    how would i go about starting completely all over?

    One has nothing to do with the other. Content is stored in the database. I’m assuming by “clean slate” you want to deep-six the blog and its content and start over? Sort of like a reformat? If yes you can simply access your database via phpMyAdmin and drop all the tables then begin again. This will keep the database intact but empty its contents. Or you can always just delete the database altogether and create a new one.

    thank you for replying LenK!

    so i go into PHP Admin > localhost > Databases > delete all the tables (there are 10 of them). is that correct?

    Yes. Deleting all tables will empty the database while leaving it intact.
