  Do I have to use a template? I understand that I can ‘customize’ I template but ideally I’d like to create a site from scratch using your tools. Is this possible?

  Any WordPress site needs a Template (Theme)

  WordPress.COM sites can only use Themes they approve of and you can find in your Themes section – you can not change theme code here –

  If you need to make your own theme from scratch and open your site to hackers (easy to leave a hole in the theme and let people into your site with bad design)
