Keyarn Hello Kayarn.. My advice for you is to get a self-hosted wordpress from Reliable web hosters..
The first link Weezy posted for you discussed the disadvantages of using a hosted wordpress blog in which your url will be something like
sitename.wordpress.com and also most themes and plugins are premium.. So get a self hosted from webhosters like
Namecheap.com ,
Hostwinds Godaddy and many more...
HOW TO UPLOAD THEMES
you can do this in two ways namely:
1. Through your ftp client
This is only accessible if you used a self hosted blog whereby all Cpanel, Databases and Ftp details will be sent to you after your order.
2. Using your Wp Admin Dashboard..
Steps
Logon to your dashboard i.e
sitename.com/wp-admin
then Goto
Appearances You will see the default Theme after the page opens then Select
Add New
Lots of Themes will be displayed to you here, You can Install and Activate anyone you like here..
But if you have the theme you want to use with you, Make sure it is in a
.Zip format i.e
ThemeName.zip
Then Click on
Appearances >>
Add New >>
Upload then select the Then from your filemanager and Upload.. A page will opens after Uploading, Then Click
Activate.. That's all

How to Display Featured Image On Carrington Mobile Theme Homepage
First Install
Auto Post Thumbnail Plugin and Activate the follow the steps below
Follow these 3 steps to display featured image on Carrington mobile theme homepage
Step 1: We need to add featured image support to Carrington theme, to do this Login to your WordPress Dashboard, Goto Appearance, Click on Editor, On the Editor page Choose Carrington and click on select. (the page reloads). Scroll down a bit,
Now click on theme functions, Copy and paste the following code on the last line before the closing
?> tag in theme functions (also known as
functions.php)
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
set_post_thumbnail_size(40,40);
Copy code
Step 2: We need to call the featured image for each post to be displayed on the homepage, to do this Login to your WordPress Dashboard, Goto Appearance, Click on Editor, On the Editor page Choose Carrington and click on select. (the page reloads).
Now click on
loop-default.php, within the codes look for cfct_excerpt(); and paste the following code above it and save changes. (This is responsible for displaying the featured image before each post title on the homepage if a featured image has been set.)
if(has_post_thumbnail())
{ the_post_thumbnail();}
Copy code
Step 3: We need to style the featured image for it to be displayed properly beside the post title on the homepage, to do this Login to your WordPress Dashboard, Goto Appearance, Click on Editor, On the Editor page Choose Carrington and click on select. (the page reloads).
Now scroll down and click on style.css, Copy and paste the following code on the last line of Style.css.
img {
height: auto;
max-width: 99%;
}
.wp-post-image {
float: left;
margin: 0 11px 0 0;
padding: 2px 0 5px !important;
}
ul.table.disclosure li, ul.table li.disclosure {
clear: both;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 3px !important;
position: relative;
}
Copy code
Note: There is manual way of adding featured image on mobile themes which can also be done without any plugin but the codes will have to be designed in the Theme (That is kinda hard for Newbie).
I recommend this plugin type because it is automatic and easy to achieve. The function of plugin is that it will Auto Get first image of your post and set as the featured image..
As soon as you edited the theme with the above codes i dropped for you {make sure you followed the steps carefully because any mistake will crash the Theme}.
Reply if you still have any questions.
