Hello All - I have a site hosted at hostgator using latest version WP. Is it possible to use "custom design upgrade" feature or can this only be used for sites hosted by WP.com? I want to change fonts and colors.

    If that's something offered on WP.com, it's not available on self-hosted WordPress.

    Just about anything you can do on WP.com you can do using one of the free themes available on WordPress.org.

      Thanks Robin - Thats kinda what I thought. been using WP for a long time and didn't even know they hosted also. This 'Expound' theme is nice for what I want but I don't want to spend hours in the html. Unless I find a plugin for fonts and colors I probably will use a paid theme I have from Themeforest and go a different route. Or sign up with WP.com and have yet a 3rd hosting account. -Thanks again

    They don't really host anything... you can create a free blog account, e.g.
    bigbsblog.wordpress.com

    From there you can buy all the upgrades they offer, like:
    - custom design > Custom Design — Support — WordPress.com
    - add a domain > Add a Domain — Support — WordPress.com
    etc.

    Even if you buy the domain name through them and your blog will not have "wordpress.com" anymore in the URL... they don't host it: it's a mapped domain (which you can also do when using WP MultiSite)

    If you search "font" on WordPress.org you should be able to find several themes that allow you to change fonts.
