  Hi,
  I need some help.
  I got today domain name yellowandyoung.com through wordpress.com, then I got a theme to use with it. And right now I have been told that I can’t upload this theme for the blog. So,what do I do?
  The theme I got was done for wordpress http://themeforest.net/item/jednotka-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/6216944

  How can I proceed to keep the domain name I got and use this theme?

  Thank you so much,

  Masha

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

  Hi Masha,

  That’s correct. On WordPress.com, we don’t allow third-party themes for security and stability purposes.

  To use that theme, you would need to use WordPress.org—the free software that you can use on the hosting provider of your choice.

  We have a breakdown of the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here: WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  You can find a hosting provider—we have a list of a few at http://get.wp.com/hosting/ — and create a new account. After transferring your content over, you can then transfer your domain to your new provider or change your nameservers to point to your new host.

  I’m happy to point you to detailed directions for each step, or as an alternative, we offer a Guided Transfer solution where we take care of that for yourself.

  If you have any questions or like me to provide more details on either method, please let me know.

  Cheers!
