   Caroline,

   We are looking for you! We need help with one of your themes. We feel in love with your theme a Brand New Day. Can you help us out possibly?

   I am part of a public health organization in Saint Louis, MO and we are working on a website for kids that are sick with Asthma. Specifically, we are creating a online tool for school nurses, parents and physicians to look up some medical information based on the kid's information. We have been searching for the perfect mix of kid friendly, clean crsip, and sharp enough to still have some credibility providing real medical information.

   We would love to use your theme as a wallpaper of for our site. We just would like to use the artwork and don't really want to mess with any wordpress stuff. We have a domain name, and are working with a web coder who is helping us create the calculator and is going to host/manage the site with his own software/set-up.

   We are still learning about this whole process so...What do you think?

   The blog I need help with is mhowar.wordpress.com.

   Please be aware that the theme designer is not on Staff. I suggest that you contact the Theme's designer directly > http://carolinethemes.com/2011/11/10/brand-new-day-on-wordpress-com/

   Timethief,

   I appreciate your prompt response, on her website support page she says...

   "Please do not e-mail me directly with basic support questions. The best way to contact me is via the WordPress support forums."

   Did I post this in the wrong place?

   Exactly what do you mean by "our site"? Please post an active link to it starting with http://

   If you are referring to the private blog linked to your username here and being free hosted by WordPress.com then you can choose only one theme here > Appearance > Themes

   You cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch at WordPress.com.
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
   http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
   The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes
   This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

   There are two free themes, Sandbox and Toolbox designed to allow maximum flexibility for CSS editing and creating new “skins”. Toolbox is more modern and includes a lot of support for CSS3 and HTML5, so it is really only limited by your skills and knowledge.

   If you have CSS editing experience the upgrade will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but will not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to WordPress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes at WordPress.COM. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/

   If you are referring to WordPress.org install then you are posting to thw rong support forum. For clarity read > WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
