  I watched the tutorial to add in my purchased theme to wordpress but do not see the option on your dashboard. I go to the appearance and then themes, where the upload new button should be and it is not there.

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

  Watching videos for WordPress.ORG installs when you have a WordPress.COM blog will rot your mind and confuse you at best.

  You can not install third party themes on WordPress.COM sites, security and performance issue, the themes here are modified to run here

  If you go to Appearance > Themes > Your Purchases

  Your Purchases ‘box’ you’ll see to the far right of your screen, you’d just need to ‘activate’ it for your particular blog.

  I’m hoping you did purchase a wordpress.com premium theme? As a wordpress.org theme does not work with .com

  Hope this helps
