I choose a three columns theme: Visual
But my text does not appear in three columns. What should I do?

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

The Visual theme has three columns for post blocks on the home page, but it doesn’t display text inside individual posts in three columns.

Or if you’re referring to the posts on the home page, make sure that you have published at least three posts so the columns become apparent. I checked http://elkejanssen1976.wordpress.com/ and I can see three columns of posts on the home page now.

Yes, I found it meanwhile. Still thanks for reply!
The problem first was that I posted a page on the homepage, and indeed, no three colomns within the text. Now I posted 3 columns.
Other question, I couldn’t find an answer on: is it possible to have no date appearing on top of posts (which was the reason I used a page instead of a post first). Thanks!

That makes sense!

is it possible to have no date appearing on top of posts (which was the reason I used a page instead of a post first).

Certainly. There are a couple different ways to do that. First, you can hide the entire post meta area like this:
```
.entry-meta {
	display: none;
}
```
But that hides the author name on individual posts too. If you want to keep the author name on posts, then it’s a bit more tricky, but you could do it with something like this:
```
.entry-meta {
	display: none;
}
.single .entry-meta {
	display: block;
}
.entry-meta {
	visibility: hidden;
}
.entry-meta .byline,
.entry-meta .sep {
	visibility: visible;
	float: left;
}
```
Try out both and test various different types of pages on your site to see the differences.

Where can I find the html? I can only see two tabs in the edit-mode: “WYSIWYG” and “text”..

To see HTML and CSS for a site, you should use your browser tools. Here is a guide:

Then you can add CSS to a WordPress.com blog if you have purchased the Custom Design upgrade. I should have mentioned that in the previous reply! Here are some links with more information:
