    I am using the Isca theme for my blog and have a few questions. You can access my blog here: http://bbhmarketsblog.wordpress.com/
    1. Is there a way to left align the main box with my posts? For instance, I currently have a black background and the content is included in a center aligned white section. Can this white section be left aligned?
    2. Can I move the date and ‘leave comment’ link to under the content? It takes up a lot of space, so looking to open up some real estate.
    3. Can we change the amount of text that is displayed after each post? Currently four lines of text display, can I adjust to three?
    4. Finally, am I able to change my red header background to a red pantone (pms) 186, html C60C30?

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

    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.

    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/
    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.

    If you have purchased either bundle of upgrades then please use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can copy and paste your text into a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need.
