  I want to use a theme from salient. Should I be using WordPress.com or WordPress.org?

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

  No third-party themes can be added to a WordPress.com blog, but in my experience it’s rarely worth it to pay like $100 a year for WP.org hosting just so you can use a theme. It’s up to you.

  Thank you! I am new to the tech world. It’s a Theme Nectar template, not sure if it’s still considered a third party. In the installing instructions it mentions that WordPress must already be installed on a server. Are they referring to WordPress.org?

  Yes.

  The only themes you can use on http://schooschack10.wordpress.com/ are on the dashboard Themes page of that specific blog.
