A shame we can't edit HTML directly like we can CSS, but oh well.

A shame are you kidding? Allowing bloggers to edit templates and themes on a multi-user blogging platform like this one where all blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template is not possible.

I was trying to emulate the front page functionality through the custom CSS upgrade, but no dice. A shame we can't edit HTML directly like we can CSS, but oh well. We'll try to find an alternate-looking solution through the wordpress functionality.

Thanks for your help :)

Here there is no FTP access, we cannot upload third party themes, CSS editing can only be used to change appearance - not functionality, and we cannot edit templates or themes.

Well that's a bugger, but it certainly makes sense. I'll try and find an alternate solution.

Thanks again for the reply!

We cannot edit templates or themes on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

I am attempting to do a slight journalistic-style layout using The Columnist theme. Currently, I have the main page to display the recent posts, but I would like to replicate this on other pages.

To extrapolate, I want to create a new page, which will be accessed from the menu, that will display recent posts in the tabbed style of the main page of The Columnist.

Is this possible?
