    Hi everyone !
    Well it’s te very first time that I use WordPress and I always start by the design in my websites but here everything seems complicated ! I’d like to know how to use the CSS to upload a layout. I mean, not just a header, but the whole stuff ! Any help is welcome, I really need it :)
    Thank you all !

    CSS is used here to change the look but it can’t change the functions of the base Theme. You can’t upload a Theme. You want to add your changes to the existing code not try and write the whole code. The base CSS code is scanned then your changes are scanned and since last scanned rules your changes replace the original CSS.

    With a wordpress.com website, I believe your design options are limited to what you see in the Themes section. For more design options, you’d want a self-hosted wordpress blog which has more themes available and greater flexibility in editing them. But to have a blog design match a CSS layout, you may need the service of a blog designer.

    Also, in the Appearance section (where Themes are) there is a place you can at least edit the CSS, so maybe this will help. You could find the theme that most closely matches your layout and then edit the CSS.

    To edit the CSS here you have to buy the Custom Design upgrade. It allows you to customize the themes here under appearance > themes, but it does not allow you to upload themes, and since CSS is theme specific, you cannot use the CSS from other themes with the themes here. Since CSS is just a styling document that the browser uses to display, style and position the elements of a web page, it cannot be used to add any HTML or other types of programming.
