    I will explain how to change a Wordpress theme:

    1) Download one that you like (maybe from my site www.wpmix.com)

    2) Upload the file (not .zip, extract it) to the folder wp-content/themes of your WP installation. Then go to Presentation > Themes in your WP admin panel and just select it.

    And that's it. Hope this helps.

    However, this applies to Wordpress blogs with TLD domain names, and hosted on your hosting account (wordpress.org). If you just need a new theme for your wordpress.com blog, I think there is no way to use other themes than those in the admin panel.

    What type of domain you are using? Free subdomain or purchased domain?
