  There is a ‘paid’ option for upgrade on sign up (currently listed as €80). In the section on Custom Design the details say this means that font and colour can be changed. I do not know what CSS is however (‘dive into CSS’).
  Also can you please confirm if this upgrade/paid option allows access to a greater selection themes (at no extra cost). Also is the price listed inclusive of all charges?

  Many thanks,
  Caroline

  No it does not. The only themes you can use on any free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot upload any third party themes, create child themes or our own themes or edit templates.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that.

  With the exception of the Guided Transfer and a Premium theme purchase, which are one time purchases, all upgrades are per year and per blog. At the end of the year they are due for renewal.
