  Hi there,

  It is not allowed to use FTP access to any WordPress.com blogs. In short, you won’t be able to edit theme or use plugins. More details here:

  You can purchase Custom Design upgrade and “hack” your theme using some CSS. Info here:

  One more question; for any ‘custom design’ is it mandatory to use your own domain name instead of “name.wordpress.com”? In other words does any combination exist where you can have your own custom theme on name.wordpress.com?

  Thanks!

  There’s currently 306 themes on WordPress.com from which you can choose one that fits you best and customize it further using custom design upgrade.

  You won’t ever be able to use any of the themes except the ones listed.

  You cannot ad external themes to a WP.com blog. You certainly can buy the Custom Design option (which still does not allow you to ad external themes) without a custom domain, but it’s part of the Pro Bundle, and that comes with a domain name anyway.

  That clarifies everything I need to make the next decision, many thanks!
