  Hi,

  Just go to Appearance > Themes > Scroll and Search for some that are of interest to you, then when you ‘hover’ over the one you’d like to try you can click on ‘Preview’ to see your blog as it would look (at present) bearing in mind that it’s also good to click the ‘Demo’ and see more about the themes features.

  When in ‘Preview’ you’ll notice either to ‘Save and Publish’ or the small X at the left of ‘Save and Publish’ if you choose not to use it simply click on the X

  Hope this helps

  Hi,

  WordPress.com does not support themes from ‘elsewhere’.. see more here.. (for wp.com)

  The theme you mention would work at wp.org though WordPress.org vs WordPress.com << a breakdown of the main differences.
