  Hi guys,
  I have the free version of wordpress.
  Is it possible to create website (not blog)?
  Can I add new theme (upload from my desktop), or is that feature only for premium users?

  Hi there,

  Themes purchased elsewhere can’t be uploaded to sites hosted on WordPress.com, no matter what plan you have for your site. On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. We offer over 300 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria in our theme showcase.

  Themes purchased elsewhere can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org if you’re curious about that.

  Is it possible to create website (not blog)?

  Sure! You can follow our guide to Build Your Website in Five Steps to get started with that. :)
