I can’t seem to find the buttons that lead up to uploading a Blog Icon. Is it a feature not supported for free blogs?

Doing this on a desktop. Does that change anything, as far as the instructions on this page (https://en.support.wordpress.com/blavatars/) go?

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

Are you referring to a blavatar ie. a favicon?
https://en.support.wordpress.com/blavatars/

Note that gravatars/blavatars (favicons) do not show up instantly after uploading them. Gravatar images are cached and frequently take several days to display after a change.

Dashboard → Settings → General

Do not keep uploading!
Do not forget to select an image rating.

See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/gravatars/

For best practices for uploading gravatars, avatars and blavatars scroll down to below the video here: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/gravatar-avatar-blavatar/

To enable Gravatar display and hovercard display on your blog go to > Settings > Discussion and scroll way done the page to “Avatars”.

Or are you referring to a site logo? https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-logo/

Thank you timethief for taking the time out to help me.

Yes I am referring to the blavatar, not a site logo. I did follow all these instructions but did not realize I had to sign into Gravatar to enable the blavatar.. (too many avatars in one sentence :D )

Thank you!
