Themes
-
Ok, I’m having many issues.
1. I cannot login with my user name on my laptop, only thing that work on my laptop is my email address. User name works with my iPad.
2. When I click on Appearance them click on Themes, I do not get any options to Add New. Rather, I get a bunch of themes that I don’t want. I would like to install a WordPress theme that I found on another site. Can anyone help me so I can use my laptop to install themes?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums.
Be sure to read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ Get hosting here http://wordpress.org/hosting
You cannot install any custom theme or any third party theme into any wordpress.COM hosted blog and there is no upgrade that changes that. The “add new theme” option does not exist on any WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You are confusing WordPress.ORG software with WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
There is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

1. I cannot login with my user name on my laptop, only thing that work on my laptop is my email address. User name works with my iPad.
This is the Admin login link http://tonyengelhart.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.
Clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibilityIf the log-in information is lost visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you are not successful, then please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

Ok. So I have not used WordPress.org. I have only signed up with the .com. The fact that I do not have a .org account is even more confusing because like I said, I can only use my user name, Fashionislife on my iPad. I cannot login to this account using my laptop. I think once I get the login to work I’ll be good as far as themes go.
