  My page is hosted on godaddy.com and I uploaded a new theme via FTP. How do I activate this new theme? The tutorials I’ve found all say it should appear with an option to activate under the Themes section, but it does not.

  Themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org.

  However, we offer over 200 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes at http://theme.wordpress.com/

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:
