  Trying to change my blog around and have it set up so I can post and forget small issues but when I try and customize the colors and fonts nothing is saving. Now I know the process is registering a change because I can delete and add widgets but nothing else is changing and it’s becoming rather upsetting because I cannot seem to find a solution.

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

  This is the link to the detailed theme description page http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/harmonic/

  WordPress.com sells bundled Premium http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ and Business upgrades http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ which include custom design upgrades in the bundles.

  We can only “preview” changes that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase an upgrade bundle.The custom design upgrade applies only to a single blog and that upgrade can no longer be purchased individually. To have a custom design upgrade on a blog registered under a username account created after September 1st, 2014 that does not already have that upgrade now requires purchasing either a Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ or a Business bundle. http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

  If you have not purchased the upgrade bundle which includes a custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.
