  I set up a free word press blog site. Last night I set up a personal profile as an author to the blog site. Now I cannot log in to the actual site or make any edits to the actual site. I am only able to log in to my personal profile. Can someone help me with this please?

  Hi there!

  Your username, mrbrentlbrooks, has the Author user role on the site automotivecosmeticsgroup.wordpress.com. Author user roles can create and publish their own posts, but cannot edit the site in general.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  In order to edit your sites pages or settings, you’ll need to login as the user with Adminstrator privileges. If you do not recall the username that has administrator privileges, I’d recommend visiting the site’s user settings to see a list of all the sites’ users:

  https://automotivecosmeticsgroup.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php

  Once logged in as the administrator-role user, you can change your personal username (mrbrentlbrooks) to have an administrator role as well. There can be multiple administrators on a site.
