Correct me if I'm wrong. Wordpress.com doesn't allow its users to upload their self-created themes. However, it does allow them to customise (a little) or tweak the premade layouts. As for Wordpress.org, I have to download the Wordpress software and install it to a server, through ftp? Let's say, I use Ripway. So after installing Wordpress, I can upload my own theme (which I made using Photoshop, not a premade layout, but my very own layout). All this is possible by using Wordpress platform on a different web host right? In this sense, I can still use Wordpress and use my own themes FOR FREE, without the need for upgrade or purchasing of any web host deals? Pls reply me soon! :)Thanks!

Very helpful, big thanks, that's exactly what I needed! This tutorial is NOT for complete dummies :)

I went on the net and got a tutorial to make my own wordpress blog and got halfway though and found I didn't have detailed instructions and called someone in to finish installing it - now it looks like I have the same problem with themes. It would be great if it didn't say it's suitable for beginners if it doesn't contain exact detail of what to do. Yep – I found the same problem.

And just a note, the hosts WordPress "recommends" at http://wordpress.org/hosting/ are mostly affiliate links, including the one to Go Daddy. @Courtney: With WordPress 2.8 you will be able to automatically download themes from the respository, kind of like how you can install plugins with WordPress 2.7.

When I download the desired theme to my computer it is UNZIPPED. So when I tried to use the FTP Client folder and move the file from the local to the remote in my Go Daddy Hosting folder, it did not download. Then Go Daddy refused to tell me how to unzip file or do it properly! Word Press is very difficult to use and I hope that future versions will be more user friendly. There are currently so many side steps and constant refrencing to one's hosting site. This makes things unnecessarily difficult. Themes and templates should simply upload to the site directly and everything should be able to be done from one's Word Press dashboard!
