    From the WordPress.com support documentation:

    Uploading a third-party or custom theme is possible only on self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com site.

    If you have the premium plan you can use the Custom Design feature that allows you to edit the look and feel of any WordPress.com theme
    or
    You can move your WordPress.com blog to a web host that allows editing and uploading of completely custom themes, using the WordPress.org software. You can find suitable hosts here.

    Thanks for your quick response. I have now install wp admin on with the hosting company. However, when i start and log in, it create a new account for me instead of using my existing account. I have no idea on how i can link back to my existing account.

    with install the wp and with my own hosting, i can now see the tab. the only thing is that the page is brand new, I want to link with my exisitng account. thanks again for helping.
