  I am having a terrible time trying to buy upgrades. I have no link on my dashboard. Can someone give me the link to the store?

  From your blog’s Dashboard, look for the Store section to the left.

  However, I noticed that you don’t have any blogs on your account, which means that you’re just looking at the Global Dashboard.

  You’ll need to actually register a blog first, which you can do by visiting https://en.wordpress.com/signup/ while logged in.

  I have no button anywhere. Please just send me a link.

  Your blog is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, so upgrades from WordPress.com don’t apply.

  If you need more space, you can get that from your hosting provider.

  Most of the other premium upgrades actually covers things that can be easily done with your self-hosted blog.

  Please contact the kind folks at http://wordpress.org/support/ for support.

  I checked http://www.thoughtsinpen.com/ and I found that site is setup using WordPress software, but it is not hosted here at WordPress.com. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ to learn about the differences.

  WordPress.com upgrades are only available for WordPress.com blogs. You are paying a separate web hosting fee instead. WordPress.com doesn’t charge a monthly hosting fee, but we have optional annual upgrades for some features instead.

  Maybe I can point you in the right direction. What exactly were you trying to setup? Custom CSS?
