  When I’m customizing my theme, in customize mode, everything is perfect and aligned but once I log out and look at my website in public view, the primary and secondary sidebar widgets are off the page to the left. I don’t know much about html/css so I’m lost here. How do I fix this problem? Please and Thank you!

  Here is my blog and as you can see, the primary and secondary sidebar are off the page but the header and everything else is on the page..

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

  I don’t see the Custom Design upgrade, or any upgrades on your account, or the site at: http://heyletsmakeup.wordpress.com . For any CSS changes to save, you have to have either the Custom Design upgrade or the WordPress.com Premium or WordPress.com Business upgrade.

  Since I can’t see any custom CSS, it is difficult to see what might be wrong.

  If you are trying things out before you buy the upgrade, then can you post the CSS you are using here in the forums between backticks so that we can take a look at it?

  [Code remove by @thesacredpath since it broke the topic]

  Here is the code! Hmm I never knew you needed to upgrade to fix things like that cause since it was a free theme, I thought you just plug in everything that you can without upgrading and there wouldn’t be any problems.

  The code you posted, which I had to delete, is a complete HTML page with script and such and is not allowed at WordPress.com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ . In the link I just gave, you can also see the allowed HTML.

  We can customize the themes here with CSS (with the Custom Design upgrade), but we cannot edit or add to the theme PHP script files. If you are wanting that level of control, then you may consider self-hosting your own WordPress site using the software from WordPress.org.

  The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  Can you give us a little more of an idea what you are trying to accomplish and perhaps we might be able to help you figure out how to do that.
