  I have a site at wordpress.org, (http://culvergraceucc.org/)

  I purchased a theme outside of wordpress, not understanding that I had to be a wordpress.com – er to apply it.

  So If I buy a .com membership at the $99 premium rate – can I THEN use a theme I have purchased elsewhere??? I there there is migration – exporting/importing to do. But the answer to what I GET for premium… will inform how i move forward.

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

  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

  We offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

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

  http://culvergraceucc.org/ does not point to a self hosted WordPress.org site. It currently points to a WordPress.com site.
