  I’m learning a lot about web development and I want to be able to do things like edit the CSS for my wordpress. I could export my data, set up an account through wordpress.org, import the data, and go from there. But is there any difference between that and just using the paid upgrade to register rulerstothesky.com?

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

  Hi there,

  On WordPress.com you can edit CSS with the WordPress.com Premium upgrade as it includes the Custom Design theme.

  If you want to learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, take a look here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
