Genesis Theme, Go-Daddy Hosting = Difficulties?

    Hi,

    I'm writing to you because I'm very confused about how to install a Custom Theme on my WordPress blog (www.CommunicationSkillsTips.com)

    I bought the Genesis Theme and have been trying to upload it to my blog. I realized that I needed to buy hosting, so I bought hosting on GoDaddy.com. This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPuBLvP8c6g) tells me that I should have a "Install Theme" button on WordPress but that button does not seem to show up?

    Could you please help me because I am not very technically literate?

    Thanks!

    Akash

    The blog I need help with is communicationskillstips.com.

    Sorry you’re in the wrong forum
    this is WordPress.COM
    you need WordPress.ORG support ->
    http://wordpress.org/support/
    WordPress.com or
    WordPress.org ? The difference.

    @akashkaria Just to clarify a bit, because http://www.CommunicationSkillsTips.com looks like it's hosted on WordPress.com: you cannot upload your own themes to WordPress.com, but we have 130 plus themes for you to choose from: see them all at http://theme.wordpress.com/.

    To activate a theme, visit your WordPress.com dashboard and go to Appearance > Themes, find the theme, and click Activate.

    More info here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/.

    @wpgaurav Don't forget to check the link to see where the site is hosted. :)
