I have registered a domain name for my blog and now nothing is showing up. What else do I need to do?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you are referring to the blog linked to your username then it has begun redirecting to http://techplusincblog.com/ You will see the URL change back and forth for a few days until the propagation is complete. Is the blog linked to your username the blog you are referring to?

Yes. We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM, we are limited to the themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.
If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.
Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.
If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

BTW the reason you have a “404” not found on the front page of the blog linked to your username is because you deleted the “Hello World” post. As soon as you publish a post that will disappear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/

What do you mean by “main image”? Do you mean a custom image header? If so then many themes have that feature. You can choose a theme from the over 100 found here > Appearance > Themes
You can use the search utility and Feature Filters in your Dashboard > Appearance > Browse Themes > Feature Filters to locate themes of interest to you. (A-Z, Popular, Features)
Each theme has a thumbshot and a features summary description. You can browse and when you find one of interest you can click “Preview”. When you are ready to make your selection you can click “Activate”.
