Hi,
I'm returning to MT from a long relationship with Another Well-Known Blogging Platform. When I moved from that platform to MT, I installed the Mid-Century template set and am using that for my blog, but would like to change to a different 'classic blog' template set.
Is there an easy way to do this without having to create a new blog and move my existing content to it?
Thanks for indulging my question.

What you need to do is go into Design->Templates and reinstall your templates. You should find an action for that on the right side of the template manager. It will, however, delete your existing templates. However, unless you have made changes to them, that won't be an issue.
Hi Mike.
I don't see an option to reinstall my templates, but I do see one for 'refresh blog templates'. Is that the same thing?
"Refresh blog templates" is the one you want. That will offer you the option to replace with the same template set you were using, or clear out and switch to a new template set. It will offer you the chance to backup your existing templates if you have made changes you want to keep, and these will appear in the "backup templates" link on the right of the templates screen.
Thanks Mike and Richard.
Yeah, sounds right.
