starting first site
-
Hi! Is there free try or something like this? It’s my first web site and I just want to try WordPress and see if It’s gonna be good. I already made one, it’s plamenvladimirov.wordpress.com, but I can’t edit it and design it like I want to. Is there a way to do it or I have to pay befor that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you wish to design your own theme you cannot do that here. See: Moving to self hosted wordpress http://move.wordpress.com

WordPress.COM is a multi user blogging platform with off the shelf themes and it’s aimed for use by those who do not code. Each theme is uniquely designed. We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes and we cannot edit them, as our blogs share a common architecture, and as all blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template, found on the live demo site for each theme.
The only themes we can use on WordPress.COM hosted sites are here https://wordpress.com/themes/ The way your WordPress.COM theme is designed to function and the features it has are found at that’s where the live demo site link is also found. We cannot change how any theme functions. We can do some CSS editing to change appearance only if we have the required upgrade.
Does Customize let me edit HTML?
No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.
Custom design – Frequently Asked Questions http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questionsSee here for details on purchasing an annually renewable Premium or Business plan https://wordpress.com/pricing/ that contains a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing.
Note 1: Once you have the required upgrade you can use this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization#postform so you can create a thread that will appear in the CSS Forum where you will get the help you need with CSS editing.
Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.
