  How do I import a custom WP theme for use on my blog? I purchased Immersion from ThemeForest. Based on my current Premium Account features, what do I need to do to apply this new custom theme?

  Hi there,
  To use that theme you need to move your content into a WordPress.org install.

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs like your blog at http://yahiatabdelghani.wordpress.com/ are the themes found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot upload any third party themes, create child themes or our own themes or edit templates.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. Please read > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
