  I have a wordpress.com blog, and I wanted to apply a new theme (a themeskingdom.com theme) to it, but I don’t see a way to apply that theme to a wordpress.com blog. Is there a way to do this, or do I have to move to a wordpress.org blog?

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

  There is no way to apply an external theme to a WordPress.com blog. I wish theme designers would make that clearer. Lots of people spend money on themes that they can’t use.

  Thankfully I haven’t purchased anything yet because I couldn’t find a way to do it. So will I have to move my blog to wordpress.org to use any external themes? Thanks for your help

  Yes, you will have to do that. And pay for hosting somewhere.
