  I’m afraid that themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

  We offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

  You can also post suggestions for new themes we might add on our public user forum:

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  I bought a domain through wordpress. How would I transfer that domain to a separate host, ie godaddy?

  thanks for your help.

  You can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  You can also transfer a domain to a new registrar once 60 days have passed from registration (ICANN rules that registrars cannot waive) using these instructions:

  Transfer a domain to another registrar

  I hope this helps – let me know if you have any more questions!
