got it, thanks sacredpath.
Thanks much Kathryn – it looks like at least some of the things i want to get done can be accomplished if i switch over to the wordpress.org version of Cubic. I see GoDaddy enables me to migrate my wordpress.com site over to their hosting with an auto-migration feature – if I do that will I then be able to take full advantage of the wordpress.org cubic theme, or do i need instead to start from scratch on GoDaddy with the wordpress.org version?
Thanks again, much appreciated.
