Theme Preview
I know you want to check out some of those new themes on WordPress.com to see just how much they might make your blog shine, but you don’t want to activate any for fear your readers will get on your case about switching themes all the time.
… You have really obnoxious readers, don’t you? 
Well no need to worry any longer. You can now preview any WordPress.com theme from your blog’s Presentation admin screen just by clicking on the theme’s thumbnail. Your blog will load on the fly using the new theme without actually activating that theme for realies. Even better, you can click around most anywhere in your blog to see how your posts, pages, categories and everything else look.
Kinda fun, huh? Go nuts.

Very useful! It takes long for me to choose an appropriate theme and it really seemed like I was shifting from theme to theme under the previous dispensation when this preview ability was not yet around.

Aug 16th at 6:19 pm
Great & Thanks! Due to my daily addiction to ICH Cheezeburger, though, when I previewed several themes I found myself saying loudly “Do Not Want!” (I’m not kidding about this). Forget about life on other planets—is there life beyond WordPress?
Aug 16th at 6:20 pm

Yeah!
