  Ok Im completely new to wordpress, but anyways, I signed up for free, recieve a free place to blog at, but when I google on how to import themes, it says to download wordpress…hmm ok, so I find it, and download it but theres no installer. So now Im a bit lost here, I want to use a WordPress theme, thats not located in my “presentation”, its located on another site, the only way I know how to change a theme is through my dashboard, and those themes kinda stink.

  If you’re using the free blog at wordpress.com then there’s no way to import themes.

  Please read the FAQ at the top of the forum for more information.

  “those themes kinda stink” (?) Try them with humility and they smell nice.
  Part of the presentation is in how you attract or draw the reader in; how you do or arrange the post or page layout, titles, text and pictures. Also Regulus at least, gives the ‘current theme options’ of a personalized header; different color schemes; and sidebar options.

  …and when you get someone to view your page, it comes down to content that keeps them. :)

  And if you insist the themes “kinda stink” you have already downloaded WP. Pay for a host and select any one of the over five hundred themes that are available.
