  I have uploaded the them on bluehost, but cannot figure out how to activate it. There is no “install theme” tab, nor is there a “available themes” section on the themes admin panel. Does it take some time for those options to appear or is the FTP upload not the right way to go?

  Hi,

  I’m sorry but it is not possible to upload themes at WordPress.com. Uploading themes is only available for self-hosted WordPress.org blogs.

  See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ to learn about the differences. We have posted hosting recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/ if you are interested.

  For WordPress.com, we have an optional paid upgrade for Custom Design that will allow you to make modifications to existing WordPress.com themes using CSS.

  You cannot change the theme HTML or upload your own theme with this upgrade, however. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/ to learn more.
