If I upgrade to wordpress premium, can I change the fonts and colors of any theme that I purchase – like from Studiopress or themeforest?

Hi Mary – outside themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com regardless of whether you have the premium upgrade or not. However, you can use any of our (over 200) themes and with the premium upgrade, you can further customize the fonts, colors, and even edit the CSS of any of our themes.

Thank you for your answer, but could you explain a little more about outside themes? If you use them, then do you have to use another hosting site? Sorry for not understanding all of this, but when I google wordpress themes, all these “outside” themes come up which you say can’t be used on the wordpress.com site? I’m looking for a theme that has thumbnail images at the bottom under a rotating slider of images at the top. Thank you for any help and education!

Hi Mary – there’s a difference between sites hosted here at WordPress.com and sites using the WordPress software that are hosted by some other provider (such as GoDaddy or DreamHost).
The sites hosted here are free hosting and we take care of everything for you (such as security and software updates), but there are some restrictions on what you can upload – for example, you can only use the themes listed at http://themes.wordpress.com/
When you Google WordPress themes, you’re finding lots of third-party sites that sell themes that can be uploaded to a site using WordPress, but not to sites hosted here at WordPress.com. Does this clear things up a little?
We have a lot of themes with rotating sliders:

http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/delicious-magazine/
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/triton-lite/
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/hero/
