  Hi,

  Is it possible to create a new CSS template and preview this in a development setting without affecting the live blog?

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

  Yes. See here > Appearance > Edit CSS
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/editing-css/#previewing-and-saving

  If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM. Be sure to read this article before starting your editing > http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

  Please link your wordpress.COM username to your wordpress.COM blog rather than that unrelated site. Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary wordpress.com blog and then save changes.

  then every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.
