  Hi,
  Trying to copy over my HTML code to a newly created free wordpress.com site, and it looks great in the preview, but upon publishing it views a consolidated jumble of the code then a very broken rendering of it.

  Any help? Am I doing something wrong?

  You can’t just copy any html code in a free wordpress.com website.
  Everything between line 70 and line 433 is almost usable on the wordpress.com platform.

  So…… if I do upgrade to the base level paid subscription, all my issues would be fixed?

  No not really. WordPress.com and a html website are completely different. You can’t put css code in a WordPress.com webpage.
