WordPress.com is an easy way to start blogging. Get a blog, check out our features, read the latest announcements, choose from great themes, or learn about the team behind it.

I'm wanting to change the Theme on my WordPress.com site but none of the previews work. When I go through the Dashboard and try to browse different themes the only thing that comes up is the smiley face. If I hit Cancel then the page will refresh and show my site with the new Theme, the way it is supposed to, however none of the links will work. To back out I need to hit Cancel again.
Can anyone help?
The blog I need help with is krosm.wordpress.com.
(1) How you are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com?
The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.
(2) Are you using the secure https:// login?
