Here at WordPress.com, the Custom Design upgrade can be used to customize the appearance of the themes we provide for you. To install your own theme or to do in-depth customizations of how the layout works requires you to have your own setup where you can install and maintain your themes yourself (WordPress.com doesn't offer that as an option).

One of the differences between the two types of WordPress setups is support. WordPress.com comes with a dedicated support team, including this forum, and WordPress.org support is done on a volunteer basis or if you hire someone to help you. Here is a link that explains a little more about the different types of setups:

And Here is a link talking about how to switch to a WordPress.org setup if you're interested in using the theme you linked to:

As I already said, there's no reason why you should try that instead of using a theme with two sidebars.

@TT: Since you don't know CSS, it would be a good idea if you refrained from telling others what can or cannot be done with it. As long as a theme does display widgets, you can change where those widgets show up (because the positioning of an element is a matter of appearance, not function, so it is a CSS issue, not a PHP issue).

The CSS upgrade cannot be used to add a sidebar to pages which do not have one already. That would require hacking of the underling PHP script files, which we cannot do on free hosted WordPress.com blog .

Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. read more here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

The thing with the duet multi-column featured post is that no version of IE understands or supports it, so anyone with IE would not see the multi-column layout. Maybe IE10 will support it, but then again Microsoft aways seems to be about 2 years or more behind CSS support.

I love the way that the content of each post on the duet theme is divided into two columns as a newspaper would be, however I am not willing to fork out the money for this as my blog is just beginning.

Are there any other simplistic themes that offer this style? or alternatively, is there a way to edit existing themes to incorporate this style?

Many thanks
Adam
