  Hi doves4help,

  Looks like you have a WordPress.COM website, you are only allowed to use themes that are listed in the Appearance/Themes tab in your dashboard. These themes are approved by WordPress and safe for your blog.

  If you would like to use themes created from other sources, you will need to host your own WordPress.ORG site.

  Here’s a link that explains the differences between the two:

  Hope that answers your question :)
