  At one time you could use a free template from a wordpress theme builder. Now I have to pay for that privilege correct?

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

  No. You are mistaken. I have been here for nigh unto 7 years and we have never had FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs . Hence we have never been able to upload third party themes.

  The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/ We cannot access and edit any templates underlying our themes. Only Staff can edit as every blog wearing the same theme is using the same template.
