  Hello all,

  I’ve downloaded and installed wordpress on my own (offline) server. I would like to purchase the premium theme “bloggy”, but I have to provide a “____.wordpress.com” URL, which I don’t have and won’t need in the future (as I want to host the website somewhere else).
  Is there a way I can download this theme to my own computer?

  Thanks!

  You cannot purchase any theme or upgrade here for any blog that’s not hosted by WordPress.COM. Contact the theme designer Anariel Design. directly for a version that will run on WordPress.ORG software please.

  You are referring to a local install of WordPress.ORG software and we do not provide support for them here at WordPress.COM.

  This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  Thank you for your answer. I had no idea about the difference. My mistake.

  No problem. Some days about 30% of all those posting here need to be directed to the WordPress.ORG support forums.
