  Specifically, what changes do you wish to make? WordPress.COM is a turnkey blogging platform with off the shelf themes.

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/scrawl/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://scrawldemo.wordpress.com/

  We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes on wordpress.COM hosted blogs and cannot edit them. This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template found on the live demo site for each theme.

  Does Customize let me edit HTML?
  No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.
