want a blog that looks similar in layout to http://macdailynews.com/ How?
-
I am looking to create a blog for a church website that would have a format like http://macdailynews.com/
Would like for members to be able to create new topics and other members to reply and post to that.http://macdailynews.com/ looks very different from the my block, restored outreach.org.
What am i missing to get to something like that. The users so far are very confused as to how to post. The http://macdailynews.com/ blog is very easy t use.
Blog url: http://restoredlifeoutreach.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You cannot build or use your own custom theme built from scratch at WordPress.com.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes
This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/There are two free themes, Sandbox and Toolbox designed to allow maximum flexibility for CSS editing and creating new “skins”. Toolbox is more modern and includes a lot of support for CSS3 and HTML5, so it is really only limited by your skills and knowledge.
If you have CSS editing experience the upgrade will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but will not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to WordPress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes at WordPress.COM. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/

That’s can’t be done on a WordPress.com blog. You need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install.

I have a web host, and have done an install, files are in the correct web host folder.
Maybe i mis-stated the question. My testers are very confused by what they are seeing when the open http://restoredlifeoutreach.wordpress.com/
And i have seen other wordpress blogs that have the same basic format like the macdaily news layout
Am I misunderstanding? it matters not at all to me about posting , it is not my blog per se, It is intended to be a purely open forum for our members. Is there another theme that would allow that?

This support forum is only for those who have free blogs provided anby and free hosted by WordPress.com. You are posting to the wrong support forum. You must post to http://wordpress.org/support/

ok, thanks .
That is one of the problems of forum based support. I do appreciate your quick reply.
Most forum supports can take weeks, months, or never to get a reply unless you “hit the lottery” in terms of how you phrase your question.
Thanks

Tried that, that is where i started. and went in half a dozen loops that always return me to the same place.
Ok, will contact my web host to see if they can help me, or will abandon Word Press.
I appreciate your efforts

The only web host here is WordPress.com.
You need to create a WordPress.org username account. Click this link http://wordpress.org/ and go to the top right hand corner of the page and create an account there.
