  Hi, how are you?

  Unfortunately in the WordPress.com sites you can’t add your own themes, for more informations please check the link below:

  HI there,

  As per the link you provided “finance379.wordpress.com” it looks you have a fully managed WordPress installation. On WordPress.com you can’t install third-party themes – however you can do this on a self-hosted WordPress installation.

  I know that maybe you’re confused now but please take a look over this : https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ to better understand the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  If you still have questions, please let me know :) I’ll be happy to help you with this!
