  Basically I’m looking for the Advance Options where is says, “Give your site a new name”. But the entire page would be even more helpful.

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins or any themes into them . The themes found on the internet are for wordpress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If you wish to install anything then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  @sgtjeff
  The free hosted WordPress>COM blog linked to your username is empty. If you are referring to a self hosted WordPress.ORG install then you are posting to the wrong support forum. In than case you must post to http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Yes, everything you need to access can only be accessed through your dashboard.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/general-settings/

  I suggest that you follow this step by step tutorial that Staff have prepared for newcomers.

  When I tried to add a link into my blog, my account was suspended for a voilation of terms of service. It highlighted this reason why: ◦the Content is not spam, is not machine- or randomly-generated, and does not contain unethical or unwanted commercial content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites, or to further unlawful acts (such as phishing) or mislead recipients as to the source of the material (such as spoofing);
  I do not understand what I did wrong. How can I get WordPress to un-suspend my account?

  In the very large and obvious warning that you just quoted, look for a link labeled with a “Click here to contact us as soon as possible” link. Use it.
