  Hi guys–
  I’m looking at various themes to choose from, whether regular or premium. My question is: when picking a basic theme that is presented in the display, can I change layouts, colors and choose different fonts. I’m an older artist, cartoonist, designer, who has been using Front Page and I like to exercise control, not just take what’s offered.
  Thanks for help.

  Hi.
  You need the Custom Design upgrade:

  Hi– Thanks for your reply. Questions, though:
  Are you saying that one can upgrade either a free Wordpess theme, or a $50 or $60 theme, with the $30 increase? For instance an upgraded free theme totaling $30, and a $60 theme would total $90 with the upgrade? And does one have to pay in advance to find out?
  Thanks for info.

  The price of the theme either free or to premium priced is irrelevant. The same custom design payment applies to all. So if you purchase a premium theme, premium themes are priced per blog, for the lifetime of that blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/ The annually renewable custom design upgrade applies to a single blog and is for a single year. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:

  Right.

  But the custom design price is for blog, for year.

  Thanks. That’s my 2 year old Veronica Lake style avatar. My hair is longer now so maybe I ought to get my friend to make me another avatar. I’ll put that on my to-do list.
