  For providing assistance accessing the blocked and now vanished dashboard to my blog http://kenyaquiltguild.wordpress.com, please review my previous posts and replies here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/not-getting-any-help?replies=2#post-1005707%23postform. My last two messages have not been answered for several days.

  Many thanks!

  This automated response is inadequate and useless. Please, would someone alive and thinking reply? Thanks!

  There are all these cool tabs and menus on the WordPress login page. One of them even says “this is where you can access your dashboard!” And there is no button or link to any dashboard anything. Oh, I got my spiffy stats page. That popped up right away. I’m told I can start posting on a new blog “in seconds”. But the door to the existing dashboard? Great mystery. How can I get to my dashboard?

  mamakiboko is not a user on http://kenyaquiltguild.wordpress.com/

  You’ll need to be logged in as the correct user, kenyaquiltguild.

  questiondriven, your Dashboard is at https://questiondriven.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Thanks, macmanx. Between myself and the Account Restore people, we managed finally to figure that out. I’m making a promise to myself to keep more accurate information in my Keychain about who I am and all my passwords. This all happened because I changed back to Safari from Firefox and thereby lost all the saved passwords on my browser, then found I did not have complete records of actual passwords on Keychain.

  A little red-faced . . . but with many thanks to all who tried to help!

  HI,
  This is from questiondriven. I was confused by being able to access my stats and other elements of my blog without logging in. I finally decided to log in and, voi la, there was my dashboard.

  My contribution to the WordPress family is the suggestion that you reexamine your instructions to make them more intuitive and user friendly, thereby saving me and you time and [unwritten] cursing.

  Thanks.
