You can cheat as much as you want with WordPress templates, they call it themes. WordPress is a shared open resource. Most of the time as long as you keep the credits where they belong you can do basically as much as you want with it.
I have about 450 WordPress themes, share hosting with me and I will get them to you for free. Just mail me. Having your own domainname and hosting is the most freedom you can think of without the restrictions of the shared or multi-user blogs like wordpress.com and blogger.com it also gives you freedom of the plugins to use and there are hundreds of them.
