  thanks. Once I have found a theme-if I find on eI love, am I able to add the drop down thingies…i.e. make sure I can add Blog next to About for instance? An place my Instagram/Twitter feeds somewhere visible rather than at the bottom of a page. I guess I’m wanting to know if the chosen them layout is the exact layout I get or can it be modified?I am reading through the tutorial but I am struggling a bit. Allison Foat

  on a theme like twenty fifteen, it says the typography is ‘readable on a wide variety of screen sizes, ‘ – does that mean it is responsive?
  And when you see the words ‘full width’ does that mean it cannot also be responsive ie readable on mobile phones etc?
  I find the info very lacking…not easy for a beginner at all. I’m regretting setting up WP-it surely shouldn’t be this complicated?

  Hi there-I have really struggled to find a responsive theme I could work with. I’ve now given up.
  Is it possible I might get a refund please?
  Please can you point me in the right direction?
  Thanks so much!

  I’d be happy to cancel capetowndiva.com and refund the associated charge.

  Before I proceed, there are a few points I need to cover.

  If we cancel your domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again, once canceled.

  If you want to keep using your domain, but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can move the domain to another site, using the Domain Administration tool under Store > Domains, at the bottom of the page.

  For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  Once you confirm how you’d like to proceed, I will get started processing your transaction.

  All of the themes at WordPress.com (with perhaps the exception of a handful) are mobile responsive. You shouldn’t have to look far to find one that works well with mobile devices! You can find a list of all free themes here:

  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/free/

  Take a look at those and let me know if any of them catch your eye!
