  Hi greenwichpointrocks,

  It is not possible to install custom themes on WordPress.com. You may use any of the themes available in our Theme Showcase, we have plenty to choose from.

  If you would like to use a theme that you downloaded or purchased elsewhere, then you will need to set up a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

  Hope this helps. :)

  Michiecat thank you
  And yes “Aux las” I did read the information I am just frustrated as I am sure many are with the continued confusion on WordPress. Con and . Org
  Now the question, which is not a .com question… Will WordPress . Org let you upload themes?
  And if not, why are there sites like them forest selling themes that are based on use in wordpress environments?

  If the question isn’t a wordpress.com question and is a wordpress.org question then you need to be going to http://wordpress.org/support but yes they do let you upload your own themes. WordPress.COM blogs don’t.

  And if people bothered searched the forums for threads about the confusion between the two they would find http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ which is what michiecat already linked for your benefit.
