  @trshn – You can’t upload themes to a WordPress.com blog. If you want to do that you will have to self-host using WordPress.org software. To understand the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, please read this:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  @notawoodpecker – people tend to return to the forums if they don’t understand the differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org… so it’s helpful to give them the link I just gave, as well as any others. Yours is a great link but could have done with just a little more. :) Be well.
