  I am a newcomer to WordPress and something of a technophobe. In addition, I am a techno-ignoramus. I purchased a theme that I would like to use for an author page, but frankly cannot understand the directions at all. For example, I can’t even figure out Step 1: “Place the portfolio folder in your wordpress themes directory.”

  At the giving up point.

  You cannot upload a purchased theme to a WordPress.com blog; those are for WordPress.org blogs only. http://luciewinborne.wordpress.com/ is wordpress.com. If you bought the theme hoping to apply it to that blog, ask for your money back.
