    I have downloaded and customized (ie. changed background photo) the Glossy Style theme from wordpress.org and I want to use it on wordpress.com as I am not tech savy enough to maintain my blog on .org as of yet and I like some of the other convenience aspects of .com. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance!

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

    We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM. We are limited to the 100+ (and growing) themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.

    Themes here have to be modified to work within the restrictions here and to support the unique features here. Themes straight off the internet (which are for self-hosted blogs) will not work here.
