Hi there,
The Jetpack plugin enables you to connect your self-hosted site to WordPress.com, and power up your site with many of the features you may miss from WordPress.com. You’ll automatically have access to the extra customisation options for Dyad after activating.
Let me know if that’s helpful or if further questions come up.
Hi there,
I’ve realised that I made a mistake in my last reply to you, sorry for that!
Although Jetpack will activate some extra customisations options, such as the Dyad theme’s Featured Content area, it does not include the palettes you found under Colors & Backgrounds on WordPress.com.
If you let me know the URL of your WordPress.com site, I’ll be able to help you manually add any colours you’d set via custom CSS.

Hi Siobahn,
thanks for your reply.
The WordPress.com site is: tammyhawkinsblog.wordpress.com
– it belongs to a friend. I’m trying to help her move the site
I made a Pastebin containing the custom colours CSS that your friend has active on her site. Try copy-pasting this custom CSS into Jetpack’s custom CSS editor on the new self-hosted site:
http://pastebin.com/dx03SzvK
Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten every time the theme is updated to the latest version.
Since you’re already using Jetpack, an easy way to add custom CSS is to activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

Thanks Kathryn,
your CSS customisation works perfectly.
Next step is to copy it over to the host she is purchasing.
Hopefully Tammy won’t want to change colours that often. I have afeeling that she will be getting me to make the CSS changes. 🙂
Awesome – glad that did the trick. 🙂
Feel free to start a new thread if you need help with anything else.
