  Hi there, are you referring to your site tripletttmum.wordpress.com? If so, that’s a WordPress.com site.

  Themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org. You can find out more about customizing your blog’s appearance here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  On WordPress.com we offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes at http://theme.wordpress.com/ and filter them by specific criteria under “Find a Theme”.

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:

  If you’ve switched over to a self-hosted site, you’ll want to make sure the name servers for the domain registered through WordPress.com are pointing to your new host, and not still pointing to WordPress.com. You can learn more here about changing name servers through the WordPress.com domain manager.

  Just let me know if you need further help.
