  I purchased the Elegant Themes package, and there is a video tutorial that indicates the ET zip file can be uploaded into WordPress. However the help menu on WP indicates custom themes cannot be uploaded. How do I access the themes I have purchased? Per the tutorial video that indicates WP compatability?

  Thanks

  You will need to get a refund. The only themes we can use on free hosted wordpress.com blogs are found here > Appearance > Themes
  see also > http://theme.wordpress.com/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot intsall plugins, upload third-party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes anything stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ and restated again here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#important-notes-before-upgrading and restated again here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
