  It is not possible to upload those themes to a WordPress.COM blog.

  If your blog is hosted on WordPress.COM, you can only use the themes available from your Dashboard>>Appearance. You cannot upload themes.

  But still, what are all those nice themes you find on the internet; those are all wordpress themes. I also miss something here :), indeed I’m a rookie…

  They are for wordpress.org blogs. There is a sticky thread at the top of the forum explaining the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org.
