  Hi there!

  External themes cannot be used on WordPress.com sites. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org. You can find out more about customizing your WordPress.com site’s appearance here:

  And you can see a list of all of our available themes here:

  Also, please check out the following links to learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. :) Thanks!
