  Following a tutorial on Youtubef for building a wordpress site and there is no “Install Theme” tab next to “Manage Theme” under Appearance. Where is it and why isn’t it showing up for me?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It does not exist on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes

  There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Also note that there is no upgrade you can purchase that allows FTP access and the ability to install themes or plugins. Those with WordPress.org installs have FTP access and can install their own themes, third party themes and plugins. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Also note that the only relevant tutorial for free hosted WordPress.com bloggers is linked to on the bottom of your Admin page http://learn.wordpress.com
  All support documentation that’s strictly for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs is at http://en.support.wordpress.com

  Whatever you are looking at is only for WordPress.ORG installs and and does not apply to: http://sunsetgatherings.wordpress.com/
