  I want to change the font for my theme (Forever by Automattic) but I can’t find my style sheet anywhere…does anyone know where it is?

  I checked Theme Options and General Settings but couldn’t find it.

  Hello there,
  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/

  @timethief – can you direct me (and everyone else!) to a reference as to what doctype is supported on themes? I use MistyLook, which is starting to look a lot like MustyLook, but couldn’t find a filter for html5 type templates.

  Hi there,
  Your question is above my non-paid grade lol :D I think you may need Themes Staff to provide an answer so I flagged this thread for a Staff response.

  Cvanhasselt, there is currently no filter for browsing only HTML5 themes (or themes of a certain DOCTYPE), but I’ll pass this along to the team as a feature suggestion!

  Thanks one and all.

  I had seen in response to another forum post that “all themes have been upgraded to support html5” or something to that effect. However, when I look at the doctype on my blog, and on a few random ones using mistylook, it is using a xhtml doctype, not the html5 doctype.

  Current and future themes will use HTML5, but as far as I know we have not upgraded past themes to use it.
