  Designing a new blog and want a vertical header. Can you use the left sidebar for this ?

  You can’t use the left part of the Chateau theme to add widgets or images because the theme design isn’t setup to work that way. However, you could adjust the appearance of a theme and possibly add an image on the left using Custom Design, which is an optional paid upgrade here at WordPress.com.

  To learn more about Custom Design, check out these pages first:

  If that looks like something interesting to you or if you want to try it out. Post at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization/#postform to as for help with a CSS example.

  Also, can you create a static front page with Chateau ?

  Yes. Here’s some more information on setting up a static front page if you need it:
