  Hello. Last evening I purchased a theme from ThemeForest called, “Film Streaming by Chimpstudio”. Today I activated my new WP site, HowToVi.wordpress,com, with the hopes of using this brand new theme. Unfortunately, I’m stumped on how to load this theme as the one I want to use. Can you please provide me with some direction?
  Thanks in advance!

  WordPress.com does not offer an option to upload themes or modify theme HTML. Uploading themes is only available for self-hosted WordPress.org blogs. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ to learn about the differences. We have posted hosting recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/ if you are interested.

  For WordPress.com, we have an optional paid upgrade for Custom Design that will allow you to make modifications to existing WordPress.com themes using CSS. You cannot change the theme HTML or upload your own theme with this upgrade though. See this help page to learn more: http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

  We also have a ton of great themes available in our theme showcase in case one of those interests you instead: http://theme.wordpress.com/
