  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, we offer many of our own themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

  Thank you for your response Jackiedana. I’m still confused and I’m sending this while I go to the website address you provided. I went to the WordPress website

  I thought I have a free self-hosted blog running on WordPress software.

  I apologize for my frustration.

  You do have a free blog on WordPress.com, which is one of many options for hosting a WordPress site.

  If you want to use your own theme, you will need to purchase hosting elsewhere and use the software at WordPress.org. That will allow you to upload your own themes and plugins.
