  We cannot edit themes or templates on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and there is no upgrade you can buy that provides such access. All blogs here share the same underlying template. Only Staff can access and edit those templates as every edit they make affects all blogs using the same theme.

  We can purchase a custom design upgrade and use CSS editing to change theme appearance only – not functionality. We cannot use CSS editing to edit any HTML.

  Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
  No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. You can choose to apply your custom fonts or custom stylesheet to any of the themes available on WordPress.com. Some themes, like the plain but versatile Sandbox and Toolbox, are blank canvases waiting for your custom fonts, CSS and images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

  Note that there are restricted codes we cannot use for security and stability reasons. Also note that reading this entry will benefit you: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: The Differences

  If you are referring to verifying your blog ownership with the major search engines there is a spacial process for free hosted WordPress.com blogs here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  If you are referring to something else please provide specific details and the code. What is this HTML code for? Please post it here between backticks and then we will examine it and reply to you.

  @izamessenger: If by “editing” your blog you mean editing your posts, pages, etc. (In other words, your content), I suggest that you learn how to use WordPress.com first, at http://learn.wordpress.com
