 * Hi all. I have a basic page up right now using the 2012 theme.
 * marcblaustein.com
 * I am interested in possibly buying Pexeto’s Story theme. I’d like to have my 
   current page up while developing the new site, then switch over without any interruption.
 * I’m sure this is a very basic issue but I don’t know how to do it. Please advise.
 * Thank you!

 * thanks. i am unsure, but it looks like i might need to switch over from my current
   page to a different holding page? i just want to keep my current page as it is
   now.
