  Hi!
  I have been trying to install a new theme. I just downloaded one free from the internet and search on google “how to install a theme” but all the instructions I found are:
  Appearance -> Themes Upload -> Choose File (Zip).

  In the interface I have right now there isn´t any Theme Uploads button. How can I upload a new Theme?

  Thanks!

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

  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs 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:

  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:
