  We bought the “press” wordpress theme from Obox. Their direction say to:
  Login to wp-admin
  Go to Appearance → Add a Theme (Where is the “add a theme”? We can’t find it anywhere!)
  Click Install Themes
  Click Upload
  Click “Browse” and pick the theme zip file you downloaded from your profile on obox-design.com
  Click Install
  Activate your Obox Theme

  I’m sorry, but themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org.

  We have over 160 customizable themes to choose from – check them out at the Theme Showcase:

  Oh got it – so we should sign up on WordPress.org instead and install the “press” theme there?

  You’ll need to choose a hosting provider, and install your theme from a self-hosted WordPress installation.

  We have a list of recommended hosts here:

  We can only offer support for blogs hosted here at WordPress.com, so if you need assistance, you’ll need to visit the WordPress.org forums:
