  Hi,

  I’d like to change my template. I was unable to find anything suitable in the wordpress.com theme library. The template that I have chosen is not compatible with WordPress.com. I registered and bought my domain and am hosting my blog through WordPress.com.

  What should I do, in order to enable me to change the theme of my blog to the one that I want..??

  Move to wordpress.org..?
  Re-route my domain to another hosting package? If so, then where can I get the domain details for my domin purchase with WordPress.com??

  Help please!

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

  Hi there. One of the limitations of WordPress.com is that you are limited to the themes that are available here. You cannot install your own themes (though you can suggest a theme be added in the Themes forum).
