how to upload a new theme?
-
I have downloaded lay theme and I wish to install it in my WordPress site however the instructions provided on this site: http://laytheme.com/how-to-install.html. only take me to the second bullet point of step 3 and I am not able to find any button at the top of the page that will allow me to ‘click on ‘Add New”
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks,
Alexandra

That does not apply to your blog at http://alexandralunn.wordpress.com/
You cannot install any custom theme or any third party theme into any wordpress.COM hosted blog and there is no upgrade that changes that. You are confusing WordPress.ORG software with WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you want to hire a web host go to http://wordpress.org/hosting first and then set up your own WordPress.ORG install.
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

Dear Timethief,
Thank you so much – that’s totally answered my question and I am about to follow your instructions to set up a wordpres.org

I’m sorry but that support is not provided here. It’s provided on the wordpress.ORG support forums. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

PS – many hosts offer a one button WordPress.ORG install – ask about that at your new host – then the first stuff is done for you
