  A hypothetical: I want to combine the question and answer functionality of the AskIt theme (http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/askit/) with the look of the X theme (http://themeforest.net/item/x-the-theme/5871901).

  How would I go about doing this? If I was to hire someone for this task, what kind of skillset would they need to get the job done? Is it even possible?

  Thanks in advance.

  Without a link to the site in question, we really can’t begin to answer.

  Here are the themes WordPress.com members can use: https://wordpress.com/themes/

  Since neither of those themes are available here, I feel you may be asking about a self-hosted site using the WP software.

  For assistance with self-hosted sites using the standalone WP software, you’ll need to head over to https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username there, you’ll need to register one.

  For clarity about the difference between WP and WPcom, you might want to read this https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  In addition to the Information Jennifer replied with here is another resource regarding WordPress.com vs self-hosted WordPress sites running the software found at WordPress.org:

  You’ll also find more information regarding why we don’t allow custom themes uploaded to WordPress.com see this support document:

  If you have any other questions about WordPress.com just let us know :)
