  I just want to install a free theme, if there is any. It seems that I am stuck with the elegant theme for my Hong Kong Outlaw.

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

  For free hosted WordPress.com blogs like http://hkoutlaw.wordpress.com/ there are over 230 themes, the majority of which are free themes found here > http://wordpress.com/themes/

  Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes
  browse themes until your find one you like and click “activate”
  or type in the name of the theme you want to use and
  click the “activate” link when it appears

  After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

  Thanks very much.

  It appears that I wont be able to customise the theme without buying it. Is that correct? I have been looking to find ways to edit the title page and the tag line and remove this- out of 5 dentists recommend this WordPress.com site under my header.

  Depending on exactly what you mean by “customise”, no that is not correct.
  Provided you are logged in under the username account that registered the blog then, Site titles (Blog Names) and optional Taglines located here > Settings > General can easily be changed at any time.
