  I have a blog at http://projectsolversblog.com in wordpress.com and am hoping to duplicate it in wordpress.org and then transfer the domain there to my hosting site. However the theme does not appear to be available. Is there any way to get the “Digg 3” theme in wordpress.org?

  Thanks,
  Joanne Greene-Blose

  Do a google search for the theme. Generally you have to download a theme yourself and then install it on a self-hosted site. If it’s not available from WordPress.org, then you’ll have to get it from another site.

  Once you make the move, you’ll have to use the WordPress.org forums not this one.

  You need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG – they have around 1,200 Themes you can use there – you can also find the designer of the Theme here and many times they have the same basic theme available – sometimes there is a charge for that – note also the themes here are highly modified to run here so you will need to add in that functionality with Plug-in’s

  Hi – I tried everything you all suggested but there doesn’t seem to be the same theme available. I found a very de-featured version of it but the one on wordpress.com is much better.

  So I’ve given up and switched to a different theme.

  Thanks anyway for your suggestions,
  Joanne
