'Add New' not showing in Themes
-
I’m trying to upload a theme but the ‘Add New’ button isn’t showing up inthe ‘Themes’ section of ‘Appearance’. Why is this? and is there any other way to upload a theme?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You are reading something that is not relevant to WordPress.COM blogging. That button exists only on WordPress.ORG installs and has never existed on WordPress. COM hosted blogs like http://jacksonandjack.wordpress.com/
The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.Relevant support docs:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/There is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
