  Hi – is there a free WordPress.com theme that lets you edit the css or add css ?

  Hi,

  you need a paid plan to edit or add your own CSS.

  Custom CSS is part of Custom Design, which is a feature of the WordPress.com Premium and WordPress.com Business plans. You can add custom CSS to your WordPress.com blog using the CSS Editor in My Sites → Customize → CSS in your blog dashboard. Anyone can save and preview custom CSS on a WordPress.com blog, but you have to purchase one of our plans to make those changes live.

  You can also look into creating a self-hosted wordpress.ORG site, where you can add/edit CSS and more. Here’s more information on the differences between wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  hope this helps!

  Question #2 – what if you want to add a specific css to a blog post – can that be done ? how ? I am referring to the free version.

  As far as I can tell, the only way to add css to a specific blog post is to wrap the post content inside a div with inline styles. To do this, you need to create or edit the post in the HTML editor.

  For example:

  <div style="background-color: red; color: yellow;">
  This is a test
  </div>

  Here’s more info on the HTML editor: https://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/#html-editor

  Let me know if any other questions come up!
