CMS Hack

I've decided to create a free Wordpress site instead of using a hosted one. I wanted to create one to upload, but I realized, because I have to share my computer with someone, that I wouldn't be able to devote all the time and effort necessary to make my site as good as possible. 

I'm not a big fan of the themes, though. Nothing really fits what I want to do. It would be o.k. if I could change the typeface, but, in order to do that, I would have to pay $20 to be able to customize the CSS and I don't want to do that. Also, the plug-ins I wanted to use aren't available with the free site. It just means I'll have to create the photo slideshow with Flash.
