You can’t use that theme on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. The only themes we can use on free hosted wordpress.com blogs are found here > Dashboard > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot upload third party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

Thank you for taking the time to assist me timethief. I really appreciate it. I also looked at http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ but I don’t think it helped. Do you (or anyone else) have a recommendation for me? I basically want to put a lots of large file photos online (so space may also be an issue). I want to click on photos on the home page that will lead to a “gallery” of other photos. Protecting my photos is also important. I really like mimimatica or something similar. The blog part is not important. Here’s a link that led me to thinking I could do something on WordPress with Mimimatica. http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/minimatica. Paying for hosts, etc. is okay with me. I just don’t want to pay for the wrong thing or have a problem that I cannot get support for.

1. You cannot use that theme on a free hosted wordpress.com blog.
2. WordPress.com and WordPress.org and completely separate.
3. The only site you can use that theme on is a wordpress.org install. To use that theme you need to hire a web host and set up your own wordpress.org install. -

Do you have a computer issue going on there? I see you have posted the same block of text five times now.

Thanks, it just kept spinning. It never went through on my end until I closed out the window and searched for the page again. Hopefully, they will delete the unnecessary posts.
Thanks again, timethief. I saw the differences in the .com v. org, but wasn’t sure what was best for me. I will research wordpress.org install and your links to learn more.
