Masu is designed to use our new “Full Site Editing” system, so you do have the option to edit the header directly, including additional menus if you wish: https://wordpress.com/support/site-editor/customize-your-header/

Can you preview a theme with your own content without having to activate a new theme. I just want to see what they look like without making a commitment or messing up my blog.
Thanks Margaret

Are “blogs” now supposed to be photo based with captions, as opposed to opinion, or information-based pieces with focus on verbal content i.e., words?

That comment was a rhetorical question, I should have worded it in the affirmative;
“I see that “blogs” are now supposed to be photo based with captions, as opposed to opinion, or information-based pieces with focus on verbal content i.e., words!”

Can you preview a theme with your own content and does it support addition menus on the page

It depends on the theme. If there’s a “Try and Customize” option in the theme’s menu (three dots), then you’ll be able to preview the theme with your site’s content.
