I’m new at this, so please help me. Thank you!!!

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/On free hosted wordpress.COM blogs we can only use the themes which have been coded to run on this multi-user software and made available to us here. > Appearance > Themes and no others. We cannot edit either themes or templates on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/
If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

Thank you for responding so quickly!
I did purchase 1-year of Word Press.
So I’m in the wrong area? -
Note that there is no upgrade you can purchase form WordPress.com that allows you to upload third party themes. The blog linked to your username is a free hosted WordPress.com blog with no blogger create content in it. If you are referring to another blog then please post an active URL (link) to it starting with http://

It appears that I paid for one-year of Word Press that wasn’t necessary.
I downloaded WordPress thru my host and now I’m able to upload that theme I spoke of.
I just paid Word Press only a couple of days ago.
Is it possible to get a refund?, as I don’t think I need it.
OR do I need it? And if so, why?
I’m lost but I’m almost there!
Thank you so much for your help!!
Sorry to be a bother. I’m new at this…of course. -

The only blog host here is WordPress.com. All those who have other web hosts must post to http://wordpress.org/support/

If you paid Automattic for upgrades to http://celebritycandydotnet.wordpress.com/ and you’ve actually got paid hosting and a paid theme elsewhere, then ask for a refund on your dashboard under “Store” and the sooner the better. You can’t put your purchased theme on that blog, but you CAN put it on your externally hosted site with the software your host installed for you.
