  We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM, we are limited to the themes found in the dashboard under Appearance > Themes.

  You can use the search utility and Feature Filters in your Dashboard > Appearance > Browse Themes > Feature Filters to locate themes of interest to you. (A-Z, Popular, Features)

  Each theme has a thumbshot and a features summary description. You can browse and when you find one of interest you can click “Preview”. When you are ready to make your selection you can click “Activate”.

  If I want to buy a wordpress theme from another grafic designer – I have to download and install wordpress to my computer right? That way I can control the themes I want my self? Do I need my own domain to do that or can I use the address that I have now on my free account?

  There is no FTP access to free hosted wordpress.com blogs and we cannot upload any themes at all into them. We have to use one of the over 100 themes found here > Appearance > Themes

  If those themes do not suit you then you can hire a web host and set up your own wordpress.ORG install or set up a wordpress.ORG install on your own serber. Doing either those two things are not connected to your existing wordpress.com free hosted blog. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  We do not provide any support here at all for wordpress.ORG installs. Support for them is provided here > http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Regarding purchasing a domain and domain mapping – that’s all you pay for and all you get – nothing else changes – period.

  Before Upgrading – Important Notes
  Same Rules Apply – The Domain Mapping Upgrade does not enable the permission to use advertising, any kind of prohibited code, or upload additional themes or plugins. With the upgrade, your blog will still be hosted here at WordPress.com, which means that you will not have FTP access to your files and you will still be required to abide by our Terms of Service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/
