  Hi
  I have just started a Free Plan and would like to know a couple of questions
  1. I do not seem to be able to access a Dashboard to change appearances via wp-admin. Is this facility available with WordPress.com or is this only available with the .org self hosted version.
  2. Does the .com version look the the same in admin operation as the .org version

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

  Hello,

  Have you tried to access the dashboard by typing golfmarketingconsultancy.wordpress.com/wp-admin?

  It does look very similar to the .org Dashboard, give this a try and if it doesn’t work please check back here.

  Thanks, I thought I had tried that, but it works.
  Many thanks have got there now
  BTW, I have used a free theme, but cant see CSS in the Appearance tab. Do I have to upgrade to Premium to access and change the CSS?

  Last Question, there only seem to be a few ‘Premium’ plug-ins (which require an update to Premium) available with the free plan.
  If I upgrade to Premium, do you know if I can access all the other plug-ins that are available with the .org version?

  You’re welcome, glad it worked for you.

  In order to customize with CSS you do need to purchase an upgraded plan as well and with a Premium Plan you will have access to more themes, however, there are built-in plug-ins with WordPress.com (for a complete list visit: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/).

  Custom plug-in uploads are only available with .org sites.
