    hi,
    i have a blog in wordpress.com. i want to change my blog's theme. this is why i just downloaded some new themes for my blog. but when i went into my blog i did not found any option for that. yes i used google for help but all went in vain. i know how to change theme when you pc works as server or when you have free themes in your wordpress theme option. but i just want to upload a newly downloaded theme from another to my wordpress.com blog. \

    i badly need your help. waiting for your replies.

    The only reason themes don't show up is if they placed in the wrong folders on the servers, or if there is a problem with theme it's self.

    Google for it. Definitely the themes are misplaced in a wrong folder

    There is a size limit for the size of the theme file you can upload from within WP. Don't know what it is, but I always find that I have to upload my new themes via FTP directly into the themes folder.
