 * Like many before me, I have made the grand mistake of looking at different themes
   thinking I was working “privately”, hit save and the whole website changed, never
   to return to original state….
    I figured out what the original theme was, and
   saved it, however, now there are jumbled bits of info all over, 2 columns, not
   3, and I can’t figure out how to change the footer to say what I need to to say
   once more. Also, the colors I could sort of change, but I am new to this and 
   have no idea how to recover the original site. When I have used wordpress in 
   the past, there were plugins and the page structure looked completely different(
   like boxes that I could open and add info to) also there was woocommerce and 
   other widgets I could add and easily edit. This is a whole different beast! How
   do I edit this thing back to original state until I can re-do using a different
   host?

 * Okay, that site is on WordPress.COM – so your support is here:

 * WordPress.COM is different from self-hosted WordPress.ORG (here) sites – no plugins
   and various other differences:
