  Hi there,

  Can you please add the free “TrulyMinimal” theme (by FlareThemes) to the options on WordPress.com? I’d like to use it for my blog and I’m not able to upload it.

  Thanks,

  Michael

  Here is the link to the theme: http://www.flarethemes.com/theme/trulyminimal/

  I like it because it is clean, minimal and attractive, and well suited to a personal blog. I’d prefer it to any other theme currently available on WordPress.com.

  Thanks,

  Michael

  I also downloaded and would like to use the Truly Minimal theme (by FlareThemes) but can’t upload it to my WordPress blog.

  In the Appearance/Theme directory, I don’t see the option to Install or Add the new theme – is it because mine is a free blog? Just wondering if this is a feature only for domains or upgraded/customized blogs.

  Thanks,

  Layla

  Thanks for the theme suggestion, @michaeluloth!

  Hi @laylakaw! Sorry, the ability to install new themes is a self-hosted WordPress feature, and not available on WordPress.com. You can read about the differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com here.

  On WordPress.com, you can choose from a wide range of different themes by browsing the Theme Showcase.

  I hope this clears things up!
