  I am trying to start building a website with the Photography premium theme and when I try to purchase it to begin, it keeps asking me for my blog. I don’t have and DON’T WANT A BLOG. I want to build a website to display my work on the Internet. How can I purchase the Photography theme and begin?

  You don’t. The version of the theme that’s adapted to run on WordPress.COM software can only be purchase by those who have free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  Go to the internet and locate the version for WordPress.ORG and contact the theme designer directly . We cannot help you here.

  Don’t overly focus on the word “blog”. What you need is a site address (like tweedy2013.wordpress.com) for the premium theme to be applied to. If you requested only a username when you signed up for WordPress.com, then you’ll need to register a blog/site http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Once you have a site address, you’ll be able to purchase the premium theme. You might like to read more about the theme on its Showcase page before you get going. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/photography/ Make sure you click the “Support” button on the right for additional information.
