  Hi,

  I am new working with wordpress.

  I saw some videos showing that we can upload directly a theme in zip format, but I can’t find the button to make it.

  Can you help?

  With WordPress.COM blogs, the only themes we can use are found under
  Appearance—>Themes.

  Please read about the different flavors of WordPress:

  You can also take a look at the themes available on wp.COM here:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you have found a theme somewhere online that you absolutely must have, then you will need to buy a domain name, pay a host, and if you like use the free software from wp.ORG to set up your site. Be aware that besides the expense of the domain name and hosting that you will be responsible for any problems which come up with your site.
