Again, it depends upon what Theme you are using. The Edit CSS upgrade allows you to completely customize the CSS. If you do not know how to do that, it’s a waste of money and I’m sorry you made that decision. Choose a Theme with a customizable header and use that option to change the header, whether or not you decide to use the custom CSS functionality, as that is the easiest way. I’m assuming you don’t know how CSS works from your question.

okay thanks Lorelle – so this theme doesn’t have that “header” option under appearances, but I did upgrade to add the CSS – and now there is an “edit CSS” under appearances – with that is there any way to add a header?

Also, since it appears you are new to WordPress.com and blogging, you might want to change your public name as the way it looks now, it’s kinda spammy.

WordPress.com blog Themes have a link in the left sidebar menu on the Administration Panels for Appearance > Header or Header Art. If the Theme is enabled to permit customization of the header, you can upload an image there that will appear on every page in the header. If your Theme does not permit such customization, switch to one that does.

Thank you Lorelle for answering my question. I designed my header, added that and then wanted to change font color but it was a no go.

No. But it depends upon the WordPress Theme. You can also change it yourself if the license is GPL.

I have chosen a theme but I would very much like to change the color of some of the font. Do I have to purchase an upgrade to do this?

You don't "create" a sidebar, you simply add the information for subscriptions and sharing to your sidebar. There are a variety of WordPress Widgets and Plugins that will do that for you, or you can create it manually as I have done with a text widget. See Customizing RSS Feed Links for WordPress.com and WordPress Sidebar Widgets for some tips.
