Blogging for Dummies

Have I mentioned I'm technologically challenged? My name is Victoria, and I have a problem.

Everyone's got these new cool templates - I'm not even gonna attempt that - waaaaay outta my league. But, I was going to change to one of the other blogger templates you can choose from when you set up a new blog. My question is - can I change my template without messing up all my links, etc? I thought maybe (I set up a tester blog to play around with it, but at the rate I'm going I'll be finishing it from the Senior Assisted Living joint across the street) if I could just copy & paste just the part that would change the template look, from the tester blog to the new blog, without messing up the rest of the stuff, that would well, be pretty fookin cool. Anyone know?

Or should I just shell out the $50 to have someone do all this shit for me? :op
