The custom background administration screen does not appear under appearance on my dashboard. I have tried to follow this- http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-backgrounds/ – but the background option isn’t there under appearance?

Any help is greatly appreciated

What is the URL starting with http:// for the blog in question please?
Is the blog using a theme that gas the custom background feature?
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/custom-background/

Here’s the theme description for the Titan theme.
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/titan/
Note that it does not have a custom background feature.
You must choose a theme that has that feature > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/custom-background/
