How to I edit my site's CSS?
-
I just set up my WordPress site and I can’t figure out where to go to edit the CSS code. I am a free user, if that affects anything. I went to Dashboards >> Apearance but didn’t see any controls to view/edit the CSS.
Thanks for your help! :)

I am a free user, if that affects anything.
Yes, it does matter. You need to add a plan (Premium) and purchase an upgrade.
We have different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wp plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for your site here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.
We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes on wordpress.COM hosted blogs and cannot edit them. This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template found on the live demo site for each theme.
Does Customize let me edit HTML?
No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.
