  Hi,

  How are you? I hope you can help me.

  I can’t seem to log into my wordpress account http://www.sharingkitchens.com

  I accidentally created a sharingkitchens.wordpress.com account and now everytime I sign in, it bring me there.

  Please help me. How do I delete the sharingkitchens.wordpress.com account?

  Thank you.

  Regards,
  Marie

  Happy to help.

  First, the link you need to use to log in to your existing self-hosted site is this one: http://www.sharingkitchens.com/wp-admin. So long as you go to your dashboard that way you shouldn’t get re-directed to WordPress.COM.

  If you are sure you never want to use the http://sharingkitchens.wordpress.com/ site, you can delete it by following these directions.

  Delete a Website

  Note: no one, including you, will ever be able to use that domain again, so make sure that’s really what you want to do.

  It may also be helpful for you to know a little bit more about the difference between self-hosted WordPress sites (like the one you have at http://www.sharingkitchens.com/) and sites hosted on WordPress.COM (like http://sharingkitchens.wordpress.com/). This article explains the difference well:http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hope that helps!

  HI Liz,

  Thank you for your help! I have been able to get access to it!
  Thank you for the link to differentiate between self-hosting and having sites hosted on WordPress.com

  Glad to help. The .ORG/.COM thing trips up a lot of people, so I’m happy to do my part to help clarify things.
