    Hi, if I purchase a premium theme and pay for custom design… do I have free control over the html?
    I can’t seem to figure out how to modify or add information to certain areas… Not talking about adding widgets to the sides of pages… but alot of the pages have page links in the middle (Home, About) and I want to add more of those… but no widgets correlate to them.

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

    Hi,

    According to this document: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/ you’ve control over CSS & visual part of the theme. You can’t edit or customize PHP or any other dynamic codes which generate static HTML of your site.

    do I have free control over the html?

    NO. For that you need to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own wordpress.org software install.

    Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
    No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications, suitable hosts can be found here. http://get.wp.com/hosting/ Read more about why here. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ You can choose to apply your custom fonts or custom stylesheet to any of the themes available on WordPress.com. You can use any WordPress.com theme as a blank canvas if you check the Don’t use the theme’s original CSS option in the Appearance → Customize → CSS panel.
