 * I have an existing site built with a theme that the client wants to change. How
   does that impact the site – do we lose what we have and have to start over?
    
   Thanks.

 * Your content will not be lost, but you will have to go through the new theme’s
   various settings including the placements of widgets. Other than that and other
   than any additional styling you might want to do in the new theme by using a 
   Child Theme, the actual *content* of your pages, posts and so on will not have
   changed.
