  I believe I saw a post several weeks ago in which it was claimed that I could download a free plug-In I believe was called JetPack – I think it was a necessary download to permit complete customization.

  Is this true? If not, please clarify this issue.

  Also – how do I install JetPack? Where do I install it?

  Thanks.

  With http://fivecardstud.wordpress.com/, you do not need Jetpack because all of its capabilities are built in here. Jetpack was designed by WordPress.com for use on self-hosted wordpress installations.

  To customize using CSS, you need the Custom Design upgrade here. It allows you to make customizations via CSS and also use the Typekit online fonts.

  One more thing please – please define the term ‘self-hosted’.
