  I can view that blog just fine. What do you see exactly when you try to type that exact address on your browser?

  Oops! Google Chrome could not find theidiotandthedog.wordpress.com
  Try reloading: theidiotandthedo­g.­wordpress.­com
  Additional suggestions:
  Access a cached copy of theidiotandthedo­g.­wordpress.­com

  Search on Google:

  (same in safari and if I try to click on the results in google search – sorry, this is mystifying to me, but I’m absolutely prepared to accept I’m missing something very obvious – thanks for your help)

  No I will not check out your blog. I have no interest in visiting the blogs of people who spam our support forums like you are doing.

  @davidg777 – a few words of advice and opinion – in one of the threads the staff deleted for your spamming you said the blog was an assignment –

  I am an instructor and as an instructor, if a student handed in your blog they would not get a very good grade because there is no real content in it – and “coming soon” does not count. Write a bit on your blog – write about something you are interested in – you will get a better grade –

  if after 3 or 6 Posts you decide that “blogging” is not for you so be it – you can just leave the blog sit – write down the user-name, password etc in a safe place & don’t loose the use of the email you used to open the blog as that is your key to your account.

  If you decide you like to write then tell your friends – I have some friends that put their travel on their blog and I can visit their blogs and see where they have visited and I don’t get a pile of email junk in my inbox.

  there is no requirement that you use your blog – so you can leave it in case you decide you want to say something in the future. Don’t delete the blog as once a name is deleted it is gone forever even from you.

  Good luck.
