  I just bought a theme through the site “Envato.” The theme is called Hyperblue and they said it was compatible with WordPress. I’m not sure how to install/upload it to my blog?

  Hello there!

  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 hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
