No option to update wordpress or theme
-
I want to check and make sure I have the latest version of wordpress and my theme (Twenty Ten Theme), but I don’t have an option in my WordPress Dashboard for updates. I can’t even find what version of wordpress I am running. Every support post I’ve read says to click on Updates the left hand panel of the dashboard, but I don’t have ‘updates’. Just Home, Comments, Stats, My Blogs, etc.
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. There are two versions of WordPress: .com and .org. Your site, http://thehopeofafrica.wordpress.com/ is on WordPress.com. Here we don’t have any access to the base files and thus no updates. WordPress.com takes care of that for us automatically.
The support documents you read were most likely for the self-hosted WordPress.org software, which is completely separate and different. You can read more about the difference here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
In future, only consult the official support pages here: https://support.wordpress.com/ as well as this support forum for help, as most other tutorials you’ll find online apply to the self-hosted version instead and won’t work for you.
