  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but uploading a custom theme from another website is possible only on self-hosted sites using the WordPress.org software, which is very different from WordPress.com. This means that you cannot upload any themes to your WordPress.com site. This ensures both the safety of our users and the functionality of all of our blogs. If you would like more information about this, please see the link below. :)

  Instead of uploading a theme, I might suggest checking out the current theme collection to see if there’s an option there that will work well for you or one that looks similar. :) To visit the theme showcase for WordPress.com, visit the link below:

  Please let me know if you have any more questions. Have a wonderful day!

  Can you suggest a good template where my photos will display more “Edge to Edge” on the page? That’s always been the issue with my site, the images are very small. And maybe I can get my site to display the images larger?
  So if you have any suggestions for a Photographer’s site please let me know. I also don’t mind paying for the template.

  Here are a number of photography focused themes:

  The aptly named “Photography” theme itself is pretty nice:

  One last question, if you select my “Portfolio” page and you select a photo, you can see camera info, comments, file numbers.. How can I get rid of that and only see images.

  Including EXIF data should be optional. You can enable/disable this in ‘Settings’ –> ‘Media’ in your blog’s dashboard. This is the link to the guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/media-settings/#image-gallery-carousel

  Generally, I upload my images after using “save for web” and stripping EXIF in Photoshop.
