  Hi!
  I can’t find the option to upload a new Theme to my blog.

  Is this only for WordPress instalation?

  Log in to the WordPress Administration Panel.
  Select the Appearance panel, then Themes.
  Select Install Themes
  Use the sub-menu or the Search or Filter options to locate a Theme you would like to use.
  Click on the Preview link to preview the Theme or the Install link to upload the Theme to your blog.
  Use the Upload link in the top sub-menu to upload a zipped copy of a Theme that you have previously downloaded to your machine.

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

  You can not upload theme of your own here. You’ll have to select one of those 150 themes.

  The instructions you mention are for self-hosted installs of the standalone WordPress software. As iphonist1 said, here on WordPress.com we have over 160 themes (both free and premium) available to us via our Dashboard>Appearance>Themes and in the Theme Showcase, which you can find here http://theme.wordpress.com/

  Also, you might be interested to read http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ which explains the differences between WordPress.com and the other WordPress.
