  Thank you! If have updated my plan to selfhosted domain

  I’m not sure that I follow. Are you saying that you have set up a self-hosted WordPress.org site with a webhost such as bluehost or godaddy?

  If so, no, changes on your WordPress.com site will not appear on the self-hosted site.

  Thanks! It links back to http://wordpresscom1296.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  I was afraid that if i install a new theme here, and start working on it, changes might get lost until the domain is updated to lifeinmyowncolors.com

  Should i wait, or i can go one with my business?

  When you are looking at the dashboard of a WordPress.com site, the URL will always be ______.wordpress.com.

  However, a note on themes:

  Themes can’t be uploaded to sites 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, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

  We offer over 300 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:

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:

  I got stuck again! I have no Add New button for themes, in Appearance section! It is past the 72 hours for site to become functional. What and I doing wrong?

  As I point out in my previous post, themes cannot be uploaded to WordPress.com sites. That is why there is no “add new” button.
