Question: Do your themes work on WordPress.com websites?
Answer: WordPress.com and the software you download from WordPress.org are two entirely different things. You can’t install new themes or plugins on WordPress.com. While some of our themes are available on the WordPress.com platform, you cannot download themes from our site and add them to your WordPress.com site. WordPress.com is brought to you by some of the same folks who work on WordPress, the Open Source blogging software. WordPress.com utilizes the same WordPress software which you can download at WordPress.org. For more info, please see this post.
