  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  So if the administrator added me as editor and not author, I will not gain access to the “add media” button??

  No. Here are the user roles descriptions:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  Author – can write, upload photos to, edit, and publish their own posts.

  Authors can upload images. That’s said those who have issues doing so are usually running old outdated browser versions so maybe that’s your issue.

  1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
