  using a review website, would wordpress.com or wordpress.org work better?

  I’m curious because I have a custom theme that I downloaded but I noticed I can’t add the theme to WordPress.com. So, would it be more beneficial to go to WordPress.org? The only reason why I ask is because I didn’t see any in the themes that they had available.

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

  Hi! First of all, I would suggest you to read about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  After that you should be able to decide which one is better personally for you.

  Happy blogging! :)

  Yeah, I did check that out. The thing is I don’t know how to really use code and I feel like that’s what the WordPress.org is all about. But, I believe that’s the only route I can go because I have that custom theme that I want to add. And I don’t see a spot I can add that too on the WordPress.com.

  Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

  Okay, you can see the list of themes that are available on WordPress.com here (both, free and premium):
  https://wordpress.com/themes/

  It is even possible that your custom theme is in that list ;)

  Let me know if you have more questions.

  Thank you for all your help. I downloaded the theme from a different website but it’s a wordpress theme. I got it because it helps you with affiliate marketing and it was free. So, unfortunately it’s not in the list that WordPress provides. I’m just curious if there is a way to add that downloaded theme? Is that possible? Or would I have to upgrade my service?

  Thanks,
  Derek

  There is no way to add that downloaded theme. Even if you upgrade your service. But you can try to find similar one from the list of available themes.

  That’s so weird, why would they say it’s a wordpress theme that I can add. And I watched a tutorial on how to add a theme to wordpress. But I think that was only on WordPress.org.

  You’ve been great , thanks for all the help.
