  I got to the point of mapping my domain, and got live on wordpress with my (paid) Delicioso WP theme and got “live” yesterday and started a post. When I logged in this morning, it was a different WP theme “Twenty Eleven”. I was going to re-upload my Delicioso WP them but it doesn’t even give me the chance to do that – just manage the Twenty Eleven theme. This is very odd. I don’t know what to do – I even consulted a smart friend that knows a lot about getting sites/blogs live and he couldn’t figure it out. The other odd thing is the site shows up as the Delicioso theme even though my dashboard says it’s in the Twenty Eleven theme. Help?!?!?! I am not savvy on this tech stuff at all, so bare that in mind. Minimal skills! I want to launch my blog soon, but this obviously is a huge stumbling block.

  I was going to re-upload my Delicioso WP theme…

  Delicioso is not a theme we have available here on WordPress.com, so I have a feeling you might be confusing WordPress.com with a standalone install of the WordPress software. Perhaps reading this will help clarify http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I got it to work. I didn’t explain it well, so unfortunately the advice didn’t work. Thankfully I figured it out. Maybe I’m catching on. ;)

  If this is you recipesingoodtaste.com, we understood you quite well. Your site isn’t hosted here on WordPress.com. You are running a standalone install of the WordPress software with 3rd party hosting. Please read the link I gave you above for better understanding of the differences.

  For any further assistance with questions you have about using your WordPress software, please go to http://wordpress.org/support/

  Best wishes.
