Ok, I’m very confused. I chose a theme (Minnow) and I did all this work setting widgets, menus, galleries, a tagline, gavatar with intro… that were supposed to show up on the right side and then I wrote a post and published it and the finished page has none of the above – just my text! What happened to all the dashboard work I did?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

When activated, your Custom Menu or Widgets will appear in a slide-out sidebar; click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper right corner to show them.

WordPress.com sells bundles upgrades. We can “preview” changes in the theme customizer that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.

If you have not purchased the Premium bundle that contains the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

If you have purchased a Premium bundle then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.
