    I purchased an upgraded WordPress blog along with a domain name within the last week. Now, I want to create a ProPhoto blog using one of their templates, but it says that ProPhoto doesn’t work with WordPress.com hosting and that I need to have my own webhosting and self-hosted WordPress needs to be installed. How do I make that change at this point? Do I need to cancel my domain with WordPress and start over?

    I’m sorry, but themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org.

    You may use any of the available themes we have under Appearance > Themes in your dashboard, and you may want to look into purchasing the Custom Design Upgrade to customize one of the themes we offer.

    This guide explains how to transfer the domain name to another registrar.
