HI everyone. Thanks for your input and advice. Think I'very found the solution...doesn't look like I'll lose content when I switch. Again, I really appreciate your help!

Can you add a tag to make it more functional? I did that to mine.

I'm using Iconic One. I switched Ionic one to Twenty Thirteen in my other site. I may have to switched back to Iconic One.

When you say doesn;t accommodate affiliate links in a functional way, can yo elaborate on that? Maybe a screen shot.

As far as loosing content Jim - you should use anything when you change. If you do I would switch back right away and pick another theme. Properly written ones should allow a smooth transition.

I also use Iconic one recommended from the start by Carson.

I am using iconic one which is a responsive theme why not try out a few and use the filter to select what your looking for and try them out on a practice site

Try "Twenty Fifteen." I really like it. It's blog focused, made for clarity, and works with mobile phones and all other sizes of scree. That's the one I use!
