  I followed the help article about knowing what version WP I am running, but my version doesn’t appear on my settings > general page where the article says it should be. How do I find out what version I’m running?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  If you are talking about pseudandry5.wordpress.com you are using the latest version of the modified wordpress software that WordPress.com is built with. Updates to that software happens by members of staff as and when necessary, not be individual users on this shared platform.

  No that support article is correct. Note it says right at the beginning:-

  On WordPress.com, we manage all of the server-side features for you, including the version of WordPress your site is running on. We make sure your site is automatically updated to the latest, most secure version of WordPress software so you don’t have to.

  It then goes on to talk about sites hosted here with the feature-laden Creator plan. They operate differently to free sites such as yours and mine which are all on the same shared platform.
