  I used a blog when my children were younger adding many photos. It’s come to my attention that my son can search his name and many of his baby photos from the blog pop up on search engines which we do not like. I cannot access that blog anymore as I don’t have that email address associated with it and don’t remember the password. I don’t necessarily need access to that blog anymore, but is there a way to make those photos that show up in search engines private or delete the account entirely? The blog website I would like deleted or help with is rossamber03.wordpress.com I had to create a new account just to be able to post this question. Thank you.

  Hello –

  I’d be happy to take a closer look at what options are available. Could you please tell me the blog’s URL? The other thing you can do is contact Google directly and ask that they be removed from their cache.

  I will try to contact Google directly. However I also think his photos shot up under yahoo search as well. The blog url is:

  Got it, I’d recommend dealing with the site first, maybe making it private, then contacting search engines as needed.

  Please contact passwordhelp@wordpress.com with proof of site ownership and let them know you’d like to make the site private. They’ll evaluate your case.
