  Thank you, I am assuming that, because I just saw while quickly browsing that. I will be able to get someone to set up and customize my site as per my liking. I would also assume that $13/domain name would be like the following… http://www.jeff.kipe.com ?

  Don’t assume anything. A domain mapping upgrade is a domain mapping upgrade and does not provide for any customization. Read here > Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  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/

  Ok, thanks again. I will check out my options, because I don’t wan’t my domain to have that “generic” look.

  Changing the header image (many themes let you change the image – no extra charge) – and change the background color – also no charge on many themes (i.e. you don’t need the CSS upgrade) – will change the look but not cost you extra

  I apologize here for my inexperience with something like this, but is there some way that I can get a price for an average website without things sounding or looking like all the options available when purchasing a new cell phone? First off I don’t know how much space i’ll need for videos, pictures, etc.
