  Hi,

  I’m trying to install a new theme I bought via dashboard, but I don’t have the “add nes theme” option available.

  Also, i can’t see the version of wordpress I’m using in the dashboard…

  Can you help me out?

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. You can’t install your own themes in WordPress.COM, they are intended only for WordPress.ORG self hosted blogs. More info here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  Also, when you use WordPress.COM, you automatically use the latest version. The version number is only indicated in WordPress.ORG.

  I’d like to offer this link to your because it’s to a page that clearly describes the differences between free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM and wordpress.ORG installs for self-hosting.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
