Can I install a different Wordpress theme to a Wordpress hosted blog?

Mar 21

I would like to start a free Wordpress blog on the Wordpress site (not my own domain) but I don’t like the themes they provide. Can I use a downloaded theme on there? I have seen some Wordpress hosted blogs with different themes, so it looks like it’s possible.

Blog, Different, hosted, Install, Theme, Wordpress

No. But if you want to upgrade and pay you can do some customizations:

Something that has confused many people is the distinction between WordPress.org and WordPress.com. Let’s clear it up. WordPress.com is brought to you by some of the same folks who work on WordPress, the open source blogging software. In addition, WordPress.com utilizes the same WordPress software which you can download at WordPress.org. With WordPress.com the hosting and managing of the software is taken care of by the team here at Automattic. With WordPress.org you need to install the software on your own server or with a 3rd party provider.
