  I want to know how to install a theme from an 3rd party source and utilize it on my WordPress blog. I’m not the most tech savvy but I can follow instructions rather well. I want to make sure I get my money’s worth so the features it offers are better for me to use. I also have a 3rd party hosting service I use (iPage) but they can’t give me the help that I require.

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

  However, we do have some really cool widgets. Perhaps one of those might meet your needs?
