  Hi there,

  Unfortunately, at WordPress.com, we don’t allow theme uploads or access directly to the source code, due to security and stability concerns.

  This is the tradeoff we make in order to keep the millions of sites we host running at top speed with virtually no downtime.

  However, you can learn more about all the themes we offer (free and premium) here, many of which offer advanced functionality:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  For 3rd party themes or custom code, you’ll need to use your own hosting provider and install the free WordPress software at WordPress.org. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Is there anything you are looking for in a theme in particular? I’m happy to offer a few suggestions.
