 * I am going to upgrade my journalized winter theme to the latest version. Will
   doing so affect the current layout and content of my blog? Do I need to back 
   anything up prior to making the upgrade? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Always backup everything before upgrading.
    When you say upgrade do you mean 
   to 1.5.2 ?

 * Making a copy of the wp-content/themes/journalized-winter folder would backup
   the current installed version of that theme.
 * As for affecting your current layout the answer could be yes depending on what
   you might have changed in the standard version of that theme or if the author
   has made any changes to the new version. It doesn’t seem that theme has been 
   changed since June 7, 2005 at least with the gz file listed here:
