  Okay, I’m sure the answer is out there somewhere in the millions of support posts out here but I can’t find it…or it isn’t really the answer I’m looking for.

  So heres my question,
  what exactly is the difference with Custom CSS on WP.com (+$15 for custom css ability)vs WP.org?

  From what I’ve gathered, .com WP is hosting for you and WP.org you are providing the hosting but using WP software.
  Once I pay for the Custom CSS ability on .COM does that allow me to add ANY theme I want(like .org) or just modify the existing free themes?

  Thanks,
  -Sk

  No, you cannot add external themes to WP.com.

  What Wp.org can do for you is limited by your ability to handle the software, or your ability to find and pay a good WP geek. It’s close to limitless otherwise.
