We cannot add/upload themes at wordpress.COM. We are limited to the 200+ (and growing) themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.
Themes at wordpress.COM have to be modified to work within the restrictions here and to support the unique features.
The differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org (self-hosted) sites.
You need to see if you can get a refund from godaddy. Explain that your blog is on wordpress.com where you cannot install themes.
Either that or you will have to get yourself a domain name, pay godaddy or someone for hosting and then install and configure the wordpress.ORG software and then export all your stuff from here and import it into the self-hosted install at the web host of your choice. Figure an average overall cost of about $10 to $25 per month depending on your needs.

Hi gtbhomeinspections,
You can use the theme on a Hosted WordPress.org site. If you still wish to use the template and have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Go Daddy’s 24/7 phone or email support team.

I need to know if there is any way of hiding a page on the wordpress site that I purchased from godaddy.com. I plan on putting the items that I am creating to go in my online store on the hidden pages, then link the paypal buttons to those items, all of which are digital, at least for the time being.
I also need to know what widgets I need to make my new site have the same functions as the wordpress.com site that i currently have my blog on. This is due to the fact that I plan on transferring most of the items from my wordpress.com site to my new one.
I also need to know how if it is possible to create an ‘add to cart’ button using my logo that i created for my site. If there is, I will need the code to hyperlink the button to the cart.
I cannot stress strongly enough that I need this information as soon as possible, as it is holding up my completion of the site setup.
You may respond directly to (email visible only to moderators and staff). I will require detailed, step by step answers and instructions, as I suffer adhd, so therefor have difficulty processing information sometimes.
Thank you in advance.

First read this please > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Then if you need to know anything at all that’s not stated there about your go-daddy hosted site this is not where you inquire. You need to go directly to the go-daddy site and engage them there.
