  Hello. When you google my name, an old blog comes up (I used to run it). I cannot figure out what login I used for it/which email address I was using. Is there a way to figure out what email address was used to register the blog?

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

  @backhandedu ,

  It will take 4-6 weeks for your site to fall out of Google searches. Deleting your site does not immediately remove it form the web.

  I’m wondering if this is what happened with mine. I have deleted every blog and checked every email address I’ve had. I’m really at a loss as to how to take this blog down.
