  I purchased a domain name on wordpress. And I also purchased a third party web theme. I am very confused on how to upload this theme to my wordpress website? I now see that WordPress doesn’t host outside themes. How can I make this work? Paid alot. Thanks

  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:
