  I’m using a free theme called K2-Lite. I want to use that same theme on another blog, but I can’t find it when I do a search. The blog I want to use it on is WordPress 3.8.1

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

  Hi Vicky,

  I believe there might be some confusion between WordPress.com and WordPress.com. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  Check here to learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  The blog you are using with WordPress 3.8.1 is WordPress.org, so any themes found on theme.wordpress.com wouldn’t be available on WordPress.com. I did find the K2 theme on WordPress.org but it hasn’t been updated in a couple years so it might not be the best option:

  http://wordpress.org/themes/k2

  As for the K2-lite theme on WordPress.com, please note that has retired as well, so it might be a good idea to find another theme for your WordPress.com site here:

  htttp://theme.wordpress.com

  Cheers!
