  Hello there, I am VERY new to wordpress. I have signed up for a blog and have just upgraded to the $99 premium account. I have then purchased a theme called ‘Instamate’ from third party website called ‘Graphic Press’. I’ve tried to install it via the ‘Appearances’ and ‘Themes’ menu BUT there are NO ‘Manage’ or ‘Install’ menu buttons. Please advise HOW I can upload this theme to my blog. thank you very much for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:
