Cannot upload a custom theme?

Hi all,
Whats happened, you can’t upload custom themes anymore?
I have this theme, and was setting it up.. now what? I can’t use it at all?

If someone could just set me straight I would be eternally grateful.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Pretty sure you’ll find that those wordpress themes are only relevant to WordPress.org websites and are not compatible with WordPress.com (unless perhaps you get a domain, but am unsure..) Fairly sure only the themes available via your dashboard (appearance / themes) are able to be used here.

@thesffblog
afreestyler is correct. You will need to return the theme if you want to have a blog hosted here at WordPress.com. The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs like your blog are the themes found here http://wordpress.com/themes/There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Thanks alot for the support – I was being an idiot.
Simply needed to login via my actual website domain to access this.
