  You can’t use a third party theme on WordPress.COM – you are limited to the 300 or so themes provided by WordPress.COM

  Hi. Thanks for answering. Elegant Themes says to your WordPress dashboard? Am I missing something?

  Elegant themes are talking about a WordPress.ORG software install – there are two flavors of “WordPress” – Theme shops sort of skip over the differences

  For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hi again. Ok. Thanks. However I still don’t understand how to get the WordPress.org dashboard?

  I am not a developer or programmer as you can tell. Will the dashboard be uploaded in the hosting? where do I find it? I’ve looked on WordPress.org and there isn’t a dashboard.

  Thanks for your help – really appreciate it. Learning as I go

  If you want to use the WordPress.ORG software – you need to get your own host ( https://wordpress.org/hosting/ ) – then install the WordPress.ORG software and learn about being a webmaster – – you would then not be hosted here (WordPress.ORG)

  WordPress.ORG should have a getting started section somewhere
