  Hi there,

  Please note that ads, plugins, and adding your own themes are not allowed on WordPress.com. You can find any themes for WordPress.com here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com

  If you want to add these, it would be better to move to WordPress.org, which is self-hosted.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
