Greets:
Just a quick mention as I’ve just found this site. Sara mentions that wordpress.com does not support the CSS upgrade. I was rather surprised you didn’t point her to the support forums where both staff and volenteers offer support for nearly every aspect of the site and with a much higher answer rate than most support forums on the net. Again, I’m running behind so please do forgive me if you’ve done so later on.
Regards and thanks,
