Am I understanding this correctly? (theme related)

  The only thread I found that was remotely similar to my question was this one: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/want-to-change-a-theme-for-another?replies=3#post-75070 and it didnt answer my question properly, so I’m posting for help.

  I just moved from Blogger to WordPress, as I was told WordPress had much better customisation features. I chose a theme from the list of (rather limited) free ones but I’d like to tweak one or two things (like making it centered, customising width, etc). I cannot find where to do this?? The theme specified it was customisable in regards to width (ie not a fixed width theme). I dont want to go wild and redo the whole thing or start from scratch, but just rather personalise my blog, my little space on the internet.

  The only place I can remotely think of is “Edit CSS” but then I have to pay to be able to save changes?? I’m currently in a country with a very poor exchange rate, so for a blog its too expensive for me to consider, does this mean I’m stuck with not being able to customise my own page unless I host my own domain??? :( If so, I’m sorely disappointed as at least with Blogger you could choose your own theme colours, your own placement choice of your widgets, etc, even though you couldnt have intricate themes, per say.

  I’d love to stay with WordPress, so I really hope I’m just missing something and being silly. Please help :(

  Please don’t post the same thing twice. We answered you in the other thread you started.

  Um, I’m confused? I only posted one question, and someone answered, to which I replied (https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/am-i-understanding-this-correctly-theme-related-1?replies=6). I dont know where this particular post came from, I assume its an error on WordPress’s side, not my inability to use forums. I assure you I’ve only posted this question once, since it was responded to quickly enough anyway.
