  Hi,

  I’m using graph paper press. The instructions to upload a theme say to: 3. Go to /wp-content/themes/ and make sure that you do not already have a emporia folder installed. If you do, then back it up and remove it from /wp-content/themes/ before uploading your copy of Emporia.

  How do I get there??

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs like the one linked to your username are these > Appearance > Themes
  Themes Showcase is here > http://theme.wordpress.com/
  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install plugins, upload third-party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes anything stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ and restated again here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#important-notes-before-upgrading and restated again here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

  To use a third party theme you will have to hire a web host and set up a self hosted WordPress.org install.
