    If you blog is the one listed in your profile the wp-content folder should be in the main hosting folder of your domain.

    ftp your account and search for the folder.
    Use filezilla to make it easier

    By main directory, in a cpanel, linux based hosting environment you should be considering your public_html folder as the main folder. For a chmod you never have to make the entire blog writble but only the wp-content at best. 99% its only the plugins folder you might have to set to 777, but even thats rare.
