 * Hi guys
 * Is there a way I can remove a theme temporarily to try out the other options 
   like changing background image?? Then use it again? Also, is there a way of installing
   a theme without buying it to see how I like it?

 * Oh and also – when I install a theme, will it automatically use the content i
   already have?

 * all themes from here [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)
   are free – just install and activate them to try; for other (commercial) themes,
   see the conditions of the theme’s seller.
 * this forum does not support commercial themes.
 * > will it automatically use the content i already have
 * yes – the content is independant of the themes, the theme just controls the output
   of the content.
