    After about a year of working my blog has suddenly stopped doing so.

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

    This site http://theoldgroaner.wordpress.com/ has not been updated since May 27, 2016.

    Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

    You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with the actual blog’s name in that URL.

    I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

    If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.

    If the login information has been lost go to
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

    If required use the account recovery form
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    I do not know what you mean by “not working”. I can access the site instantly.

    theoldgroaner.com is/was hosted (expired) with BlueHost not WordPress.com. This is the message top front and centre. Actually “after about a year” is a good hint why your blog has stopped working!:

    This domain is pending renewal or has expired. Please contact the domain provider with questions.

    Thanks for tailgating me. It’s appreciated as I’m extremely busy today.
