  Hi all!
  I’m VERY keen to run the Piano Black theme that’s shown on wordpress.org – see: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/piano-black

  Is there any way to use this theme on my .com blog?

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

  If you move to independent hosting you can, but you can’t use it on a WordPress.com blog. You cannot use ANY external themes.

  What do you mean by moving to independent hosting?

  I mean, buy hosting from some company and install WordPress software in it and run it. Totally separate from WordPress.com.Please review the thread at the top of the forum on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
