  I cannot find where to upload the 3rd party theme. It used to be really easy: Appearances > Install theme (I’ve done it before). Having a minor freak out because I already paid for this theme but it doesn’t appear they allow 3rd party themes any longer. Help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Themes purchased elsewhere can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com, but we offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies! You can view all of our themes at http://theme.wordpress.com/ and filter them by specific criteria under “Find a Theme”.

  Additionally, with the Custom Design upgrade, you can further customize any of our themes by changing the fonts and colors, and editing the CSS:
