   I have bought the Thesis theme and want to add it to my blog. I have downloaded FTP client Filezilla to help me do this but I'm unfamiliar with all this stuff. domain name was purchased and registered through WordPress.

   The issue I have is that I don't know what details go in the Host, Username, Password and Port boxes at the top of the Filezilla window when I try to make a server connection.

   Your help would be very much appreciated! Laymans terms only please!

   The blog I need help with is jowestwood.com.

   Are you asking about adding the thesis theme you bought to the blog linked to your name?

   If so - step one is to get a refund from where you bought the theme - you can't upload themes to WordPress.COM blogs - no ftp access - a security and reliability issue.

   @jowestwood
   auxclass is correct. Here are the relevant links for you:
   WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: The Differences
   no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs
   no uploading themes into free hosted WordPress.com blogs

   The only themes we can use are those found here > Appearance > Themes
   This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template and we cannot access the underlying files and edit templates or themes.
