  Hi, I have a free wordpress blog and I downloaded a theme from a site and I’d like to ask is it possible to have it as a theme on my site?

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

  No. 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/plugins/

  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.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Alright thank you. I’m actually thinking of being hosted by FanFusion but I haven’t made my decision yet.
