  I have wordpress installed at my web host, and I just uploaded and chose the sandbox theme. However, when I go to view my blog, the default theme is still there. Is there anything else I need to do beside select theme from the dropdown menu and update file?

  You need to be asking at WordPress.org, as we’re running different software here and won’t be able to help you.

  No. WordPress.com — here — offers free blogs. Self-hosted blogs use different WordPress software and are supported at:
