  Hi @mackenziecpa!

  To upload a theme of your own (instead of using one of the themes offered on http://wordpress.com/themes) you’ll want to set up a self hosted WordPress site, which is a bit different from the WordPress.com hosted site you have at the moment.

  This is the single best article I’ve ever seen on the differences: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/11/14/com-or-org/

  If you do decide to go the self hosted route, here are some helpful links for you :)

  Let me know if you have any questions!

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately, you can’t install any themes from outside in WordPress.com. If you want to change the design of your site, you can choose the theme from the Theme Showcase. WordPress.com provides a wide range of themes.
