  I recently began hosting my blog on godaddy and I want to add a theme I downloaded to wordpress and then uploaded to godaddy. However I’m not seeing anything on my dashboard that says Add New Theme anywhere and especially NOT in Appearances. I just want to get the new theme to show up on my wordpress.
  HELP!

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

  Sorry, you are in the wrong forum and need to head over to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ as that is where self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG are supported.

  These forums are for those hosted here on the wordpress.COM free hosting service and things here work differently and our answers typically will not work for you.

  If you do not know the difference, see this support document: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ .

  In order to answer, please give us the link to your WordPress.com blog, starting with http://

  Buying a domain for use with a WordPress.com blog still does not give you access to upload your own theme. See more information here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  If on the other hand your blog is *entirely* self-hosted, it is possible.

  This is why we need the blog address.
