  Hi there, here on WordPress.com, we provide over 200 themes to choose from, but we don’t allow theme uploads. You can check out our roster of available themes here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you need to upload your own theme, you’ll need to look into getting a hosting package and setting up a self-hosted WordPress installation, using the free software from WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  We don’t provide FTP access here on WordPress.com – you can learn more here:

  If I can help with anything else or you have further questions, just let me know.
