  I am starting my blog again after a few years. I want to change the heading and I can’t find where I do that. It has old pictures and a font I no longer use. I want to upload my new logo and brand colors. Can you do that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your theme is a very old retired them and the recommendation is to switch to a much newer one as themes are retired when they no longer support all wordpress.COM features.

  Go to https://wordpress.com/themes/ and type in your keywords there.

  re: switching themes

  Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

  If you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them act.

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one at https://wordpress.com/theme/twentysixteen. That’s where set up instructions for it are found and the link to live demo site

  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/

  re: site logos https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-logo/

  To see all the themes that are supported, check out the Site Logo filter https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/site-logo/ on the Theme Showcase.

  You can also type custom colors into the theme filters.

  NOTE: See here for details on purchasing an annually renewable Premium or Business plan https://wordpress.com/pricing/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing.

  Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.
