  I’ve purchased a theme from 3rd party vendor, ThemeForest and downloaded the necessary files: http://themeforest.net/item/argo-modern-onepage-metro-ui-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/4589714
  But I don’t know how to install it into my own WordPress site: coreytuckerten4.wordpress.com
  Can you let me know the link and/or steps to upload my new custom WordPress design?
  Thanks!
  Corey

  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/

  P.S. return the theme to the themes designer and get a refund.
