  No you cannot. We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload third party themes.

  The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/ You can use the filters there to locate a theme with sidebars.

  If you intend to remain a WordPress.com return the theme and ask for a refund.

  Can i in fact install an elegantthemes.com theme to my wordpress site or not? Elegentthemes says i can but it appears wordpress can’t. i’ve watched the how-to videos but i don’t have an “Install theme” tab in wordpress.

  No you cannot. The theme can only be used on a WordPress.org install, not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. See the reply above I posted 3 minutes ago.

  Is there a wordpress package that will allow me to use a template from elegantthemes.com?

  No and if there had been one I would have provided the link. The theme can only be used on WordPress.org installs. http://wordpress.org/
