What theme is this
-
I am very new to WordPress. I was wondering if the theme Metblogs.com was custom. I am specifically interested in their homepage, especially the flash navigation menu. Is this an add-on or plugin of some type?

Yes, that is a custom theme, and that is a self-hosted installation and self-hosted sites have much greater freedom as to what you can do. See the following for the basic differences between wordpress.com sites and self-hosted sites using the software from wordpress.org.
At wordpress.com, we have the 100+ themes listed at appearance > themes to choose from and the theme team here are adding new themes all the time. If you have some CSS experience, you can buy the Custom Design upgrade and stylize the themes here, but you cannot add functionality through CSS (such as a flash menu system).

i will be hosting my wordpress site here: thelarper.com/blarper
it is a joomla component that allows wordpress inside the joomla CMS. thank you for your info. it was helpful

Then you will be using the self-hosted version of wordpress and need to head over to http://wordpress.org/support/ as that is where the self-hosted version is supported. We volunteers here at wordpress.com know virtually nothing about the self-hosted software, which works differently in key ways.
