Thanks.

And by a "free" site I am referring to sites that ARE hosted at WordPress.com.

I have helped create a few WordPress sites for myself and others but they are separate from my personal "free" site(s). So why do two private sites appear in the dashboard of my free site? My Blogs > Linked Blogs

Advertising is, except for a couple very narrow exceptions, not allowed on wordpress.COM. For the exceptions, see the last sentence under "Affiliate marketing blogs" in the bottom set of bullet points in the "types of blogs" link below.

There is no upgrade you can apply to a WP.com blog which will allow you to add external themes, other than the VIP upgrade which costs $1500 to set up and $600 per month.

You will need to get an externally-hosted, non WP.com, WP blog. Find hosting and install the software and then you will not have the restrictions which apply here.

You can only change the CSS,not the php or any other aspect of a WP.com blog. Stuff for WP.com needs to be specifically designed for WP.com.

Does that clarify?

I am quite confused here regarding being able to CSS coding on a free wordpress blog. I also have a paid blog and I have no problem uploading themes there and loading them on to the paid blog. However, that is going to end up as my business design blog so I do not want to continue changing the theme on the paid blog. Is there a way on the FREE blog to be able to change the blog to test my themes I have created?

This is my free blog but I am just practicing on it to get the hang of the widgets and such: http://strosgirlsblogdesigns.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the help.

Due to the Venerable Bede? who is the subject matter? I don't think so.
I like WP VERY much yet thre do seem to be some vagaries.
