How do I install a theme I purchased on obox onto wordpress.com?
-
Ignore previous post as I linked it to my other blog which is set up and fine. This is related to a new .com I have paid for http://www.countryweddingstyle.com
I purchased a theme on obox called STORE which I’ve since discovered is only applicable for use on wordpress.org, which I’m not in a position to use. As part of the purchase I received the theme HANDMADE for free, which I can see is a theme available on wordpress.com . Would much prefer to use STORE but accept I may have no choice but to use HANDMADE if I don’t want to waste the money I’ve spent.
I’ve paid for my .com URL on WordPress.com but for the life of me cannot work out how to install the HANDMADE theme I purchased on obox. It is using a default theme at the moment and I can access the ‘Manage Theme’ page, but there is no ‘Install Theme’ page. Help? :(
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org. You can find out more about customizing your blog’s appearance here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
On WordPress.com we offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes at http://theme.wordpress.com/ and filter them by specific criteria under “Find a Theme”.
You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:

Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
