  I purchased this photorific theme… I would like to use it on my site as a template/theme. It IS a wordpress theme so I’m confused and really upset as to why I can’t use it.

  Custom themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com:

  We have more than 160 themes available that you can use – http://theme.wordpress.com

  Note that you can always customize one of our existing themes using CSS and the Custom Design upgrade:

  That’s SO stupid…

  I BOUGHT this WORDPRESS theme $30.00, why is it a wordpress theme if you can’t use it?

  You can use it on self hosted WordPress.org sites.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
