  Hi

  I am just wondering about the CSS upgrade option on wordpress.com

  With this option would I be able to load the CSS of this wordpress into the CSS upgrade field on my http://www.wordpress.com theme? ?

  I have read that it does not support HTML.

  The style sheet is all CSS however, how would I be able to upload my image files for the theme?
  Should I just upload them to a free host like flickr or photobucket ??

  Is there a way around this ?

  WordPress.com Options
  You can edit your theme’s style sheet or create one of your own to personalize the appearance of your blog, only if you purchase an upgrade and undertake css customization yourself. (For more detailed information see CSS Customization Upgrade below. )

  If you don’t purchase the upgrade, you can choose a theme from the admin area of your blog -> Dashboard -> Presentation -> Many themes provide for a customized a header and, sidebar widgets allow for posting of unique images, etc. to personalize your blog.

  Note that if you do not opt for the css upgrade then this link has information on point for you to read. Also take note that we are not allowed to use javascript, iframes, forms, some media embeds and styles, etc. for for security reasons regardless of whether or not we purchase a css customization upgrade.

  Although some themes at wordpress.org and wordpress.com may appear to be the same they are not; the software is different. The “please read me first before posting” sticky at the head of the wp support forum outlines the differences between blogs hosted by wordpress at wordpress.com and self-hosted wordpress.org software.

  CSS Customization Upgrade

  The 15$ you pay to upgrade a wordpress.com blog enables you to to alter the appearance of your theme and but not the underlying php code. Purchasing the upgrade entitles you to customize css on one blog for one year.

  The upgrade is not recommended to bloggers who do not have css customization experience. Although there is a forum and other bloggers may volunteer to help you if needs be, there is no staff support provided for learning css customization.

  CSS customization can be used to improve on any existing theme; you can define your own classes for use in posts; you can select the Sandbox theme and build on one of the Minimalist layouts or, opt for no stylesheet and do it all yourself. If you feel you are up to the challenge of customizing a theme then these link , link , link will be helpful. There are also css resources that you can access listed in the FAQs blog.

  Am I right in surmising that other than those themes which make provision for headers that we can not upload site graphics for use with the CSS? Certainly from reading the CSS at com the file path would indicate that is so – but I am not certain.
