I'm having trouble with getting traction on starting the whole process though.
I purchased a domain name from WordPress.com, I've been following the guides on WordPress.org's sites on how to start up but came to an early stop when I tried to use Filezilla to connect to the host for the FTP.
I then realized that WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different entities entirely.
So now I'm stuck and I can't figure out what to do from here.
I guess I don't understand domains or how this whole thing works very well.

Can I use the domain I bought from this wordpress.com website for WordPress.org or will I have to buy/transfer a new domain somewhere else? Or can I use the domain I bought here to go to a host somewhere else using WordPress and FIlezilla to manipulate the themes?

Much appreciated
Daniel

I downloaded a new theme for my blog. And to activate it on my site, I need to upload it on filezilla.

You are limited to the about 220 themes you can find from your dashboard - you can not add outside themes to a blog here - there is no FTP or Fileezilla access to any blog here nor is there any upgrade you can buy that will give you that type of access

You should get a refund from the people that sold you the theme since it can't be used here

First of all, I speak very little english, so I hope you understand what I'm saying.
I'm a 3D artist and i created un blog for upload online my projects.
The problem is that I know nothing about web...

So, I bought a domain name ".com" on wordpress when registering.
Until then, everything was fine.

I downloaded a new theme for my blog. And to activate it on my site, I need to upload it on filezilla.

The probleme is that I can not connect my site to filezilla for to upload my new theme.
I have not received any "host" or any "identifier" to set filezilla to successfully connect to my blog....

If someone could help me, it would be great :D !

Thank you very much !!

Yes it is - WordPress.COM does not allow FTP access - security issues

Well I thought this was a GoDaddy thing since I bought the domain name there but they helped me find the host which is layered technologies. I assume that was through the mapping via WordPress.

Do I contact Layered Technologies? This is very confusing.

if I've paid for having a WordPress blog with all the features.

Again, if you are talking about WordPress.com, what you've probably paid for are upgrades, but the blog and hosting itself on WordPress.com are free.

As tsp said above

To use the theme you downloaded you will have to self-host a blog using the software from wordpress.ORG on a third-party hosting service such as godaddy, bluehost, etc. Figure an average monthly cost, all expenses considered, of about $10 to $25

And yes, you will have to upload those files, both the stand-alone WordPress software and the theme to your 3rd party hosting service. Stand-alone WordPress is supported at http://wordpress.org/support so if you need assistance with it, that's where you'll need to go.

i was under the impression that you could download any wordpress theme and use it on your wordpress blog.

Whats the difference between the .com and .org? if I've paid for having a WordPress blog with all the features. can I transfer that to wordpress.org? or did I just do something completely wrong.

And I've tried to download WordPress... what do you do after that? its a bunch of files... do I upload that somewhere aswell?

Just read that article. very helpful in understanding the difference between them.
