  I’m trying to add a new theme to my blog through Filezilla. It asks me for a Host name, a username, and a password.

  I have tried putting in my blog domain as host, (gameportriat.wordpress.com), and my wordpress username and password. But it doesn’t work.

  Anybody have any idea on why this wouldn’t be working? And how I could find my host/username/password.

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You cannot add themes to wordpress.com blogs. You can only use the themes you find on the dashboard.

  You can add themes to WordPress, the free themes, using Filezilla!

  You can add themes if you are using the free software from wordpress.ORG, and are hosting your blog yourself.

  Users of the free hosting (and software) at wordpress.COM can not add themes. Ours is a multi-user platform and the only themes we can use are the ones on our dashboards.
