  I have a custom CSS/html theme that was designed for tumblr pages. I would like to customize it (as I have been doing just through my personal html editor) – but use it for my wordpress site. How would I go about embedding this easily? I have my own server space worst case scenario. I blog regularly and tag to various pages off of the main page so being able to lock it in would be super. It does have javascript in it; which I can’t recall if WP does or not support. I kinda recall that they don’t. . . Any support would be great!

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

  I forgot to add, here is the live preview for the template that I have been playing with: http://sarahcaths.tumblr.com/theme9

  And here is the code page for it: http://pastebin.com/TZF2b4Gp

  To give you an idea with what I am working with.

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately, you wouldn’t be able to carry over the CSS from your Tumblr site to WordPress.com as the themes are completely different. In addition, as you mentioned you wouldn’t be able to add Javascript for security reasons. However, you can customize your site to your liking using CSS by going to Appearance > Customize > CSS in your Dashboard. If you need help with any CSS questions, feel free to reach out here:
