  I purchased a template in flashmint that I would like to install and use on my wordpress account. The domain name that I would like to install this template is http://www.coolnut.co
  I believe that I have moved it from Go Daddy to WordPress for hosting.
  Question: How do I install the Flashmint theme into wordpress so that I may edit the content and make it my own?
  Thank you, I feel so very lost.

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

  We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs . Hence we have are not able to upload third party themes.

  The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/ We cannot access and edit any templates underlying our themes. Only Staff can edit as every blog wearing the same theme is using the same template.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this unless your are prepared to pay $500 per month for a an Enterprise account or even more for a VIP account. To upload themes you need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.ORG install. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
