  Take note that we cannot edit templates or themes here at wordpress.com and we use certain codes.

  As you are new to wordpress.com you will be well served if you read this support documentation entry > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Exactly what “custom field” do you want to add and where do you want to add it?

  WordPress.COM does not support custom fields. Custom fields are only available in the self-hosted version of wordpress hosted on a third-party hosting service.

  The instructions are for wordpress.ORG installs. If that’s what you want then you will have to hire a web host and get a wordpress.ORG install.
