  I purchased this wordpress theme today : https://www.etsy.com/listing/182579631/premade-self-hosted-wordpress-theme?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=wordpress+chalkboard+theme&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery
  which states it will work with self-hosted blogs – which I assume I am since I have paid extra for the name knittingnestnews. and the .wordpress does not show up in our address.

  When I went to download the theme WordPress only gives me the option to pay ANOTHER $30.00 for a premium theme. Isn’t that what I’m paying for?

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

  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:

  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:
