Custom Templates
-
I have a 3 part question:
1) If I want to use a custom template, do I need to have my own domain? Assuming the answer is YES
2) I want to first try out the custom template with a different domain so as not to bring down my current site which is hosted by Blogger (also on a custom domain). But it seems like I can’t try out until I pay $10 to use custom domain. Once I point to a beta domain, can I then switch the domain to the real one without having to pay another $10?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

My current site is http://www.travelandtweet.com and is a CNAME from my web host to Blogger.
I would like to migrate this over to WP, but not before I test it out on http://blog.travelandtweet.com. Is it possible for me to only pay the $10 once?So I would point beta.travelandtweet.com to CNAME travelandtweet.wordpress.com via my web host
Pay $10 to WP to allow the custom domain.
Install the custom template on beta.travelandtweet.com so I can play around with this and get the site ready.
Switch my domain so that travelandtweet.com now points to travelandtweet.wordpress.com and get rid of beta. -
If your blog is actually hosted here at WordPress.com, regardless of whether it points to some other domain, you can only use the themes available here. I assume that when you say “template” you’re referring to what we call “themes.”

Yes I am referring to themes. Can I not get a custom Word press theme and install it on the blog?
