 * Hi there. I am looking to move a site from wordpress.com to wordpress.org using
   the Sela theme.
 * When I install the Sela theme I do not have all the same customization options.
   Colors and BAckground testimonials etc as I do on wordpress.com. Is this expected
   or am I missing something?

 * Colour palettes are a feature of WordPress.com. On a self-hosted site, you can
   recreate the effect using custom CSS, by copying the colour palette’s CSS over.
 * An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the [Jetpack plugin](http://jetpack.me/)
   and activate the [Custom CSS](http://jetpack.me/support/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.
 * As alternatives, you could either install a [standalone custom CSS plugin,](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
   or create a [child theme.](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
 * If you need more help with this, please provide a link to your WordPress.com 
   site and if possible your self-host site as well so I can take a look.
 * Other featured, like the site logo and testimonials, require the [Jetpack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/)
   plugin on self-hosted sites. You’ll need to activate the Custom Content Types
   module.
 * Let me know how it goes.
