  I wanted to use the theme AccessPress Parallax (http://accesspressthemes.com/theme-demos/?theme=accesspress-parallax)
  and wanted to know how to go about doing this. I found it on the WordPress.org theme directory, but it doesn’t come up as an option in the themes list when I’m working within my site. I presume I have to download the theme, but what do I do then?

  WordPress.com does not allow uploading themes. You can only use any of the 370+ free and premium themes.

  To understand the difference of WordPress.com and WordPress.org read more here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Ah, yes, remember the difference now. So, if we wish to change to .org, does this mean that we’ve wasted money registering the domain/url with .com?

  No. You can still manage your domain from WordPress.com or transfer it to another registrar.
