  Hi there!

  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They 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 here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  also the current theme im using is there anyway to put the side bar on the left?

  You would be able to make this change using custom CSS code, however it would be a complicated change since you would need to make sure the formatting still works correctly for tablets and mobile devices.

  You can also see other themes we offer with a left sidebar here:

  Please let me know if I can help with anything else!

  In order to use Custom CSS you’ll need to have the Custom Design upgrade. You can purchase that here:

  I just went to figure out the CSS code to move your sidebar and it’s actually quite simple in this theme! You lucked out. :)

  Once you’ve purchased the Custom Design upgrade, open your Customizer and move to the CSS panel. Then paste this code into the text box:

  .site-content {
  	float: right;
  }

  Let me know if I can help further!
