  That requires hacking the theme PHP script files and we do not have access to those at wordpress.COM. One of the existing bottom widget areas could be moved up beside the content with CSS, but you cannot create a new one. CSS is simply a styling document the browser uses to place and style web page elements. It cannot be used to add functionality or new page elements.

  You can have all the code listings you want – still can’t modify PHP code

  No. We cannot edit the underlying theme files here at wordpress.COM. This is a multi-user platform which means we all share the same underlying theme and wordpress files. Any change by one person would change it for everyone using that theme.

  If you want to “hack” that theme, then you have to self-host a wordpress installation somewhere like bluehost, hostgator, etc., which all things considered will run you about $10 to $25 per month depending on your requirements.
