  Hello,

  I am new to WordPress.com.

  I created a theme through Artisteer, but I cannot find out how to import it to my website on the word press.com domain. I searched and found many relevant references, but they all mentioned an “Install Theme” button on the Appearance section, which I simply cannot find.

  Thanks you for your time.

  There is no way to accomplish that here at WordPress.com. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or any themes into them The themes found on the internet are for wordpress.ORG installs which run on different software.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  On free hosted wordpress.COM blogs we can only use the themes which have been coded to run on this multi-user software and made available to us here. > Appearance > Themes and no others. We cannot edit either themes or templates on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

  If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  The blog linked to your username is a free hosted WordPress.com blog and it has no content. If you are referring to a self hosted WordPress.ORG install the correct support forum for that software is here > http://wordpreess.ORG/support

  Yes, it is a free hosted WordPress.com blog.
  I use it for testing/trying out your service.

  I guess my theme will have to wait till the actual run on my server.

  thanks a lot!

  I’m glad we resolved this. You’re welcome and when you do get an install running on your own server do be aware that you must post to http://wordpress.ORG/support for help with it. We do not provide support for local installs at WordPress.com
